My guest in this week’s <em>Book Club</em> is Joanna Kavenna, who talks about her witty, philosophically riddling new novel <em>Seven: Or, How To Play A Game Without Rules</em>. She tells me about taking her bearings from Italo Calvino, making up a board game and then being the world’s worst player at it, how AI challenges our sense of ourselves – and how Morten Harket found his way into her fiction.
