Benjamin Wood: Seascraper

A tang of sea salt in the air, and a thundering wave of acclaim – buckle up for an encounter with Benjamin Wood’s Nero Book Award-winning and Booker Prize-longlisted Seascraper, a novel that challenges the limits of literary realism.

Today, hear Wood chatting with us about his haunting world, where a young, duty-bound shrimp-fisherman is offered a tantalising out.

You’ll feel the razorshells crunch underfoot in this conversation that asks: Can we ever, really, break free? Chaired by Sinéad Gleeson.
