Show Notes
RHLSTP Book Club #157 - One Minute Away - Richard talks to comedian Mark Watson about his latest novel about delivery drivers and social inequality and mad love affairs, One Minute Away. They chat about what attracted Mark to this subject, whether he was worried about telling a story from the perspective of a Croatian food deliverer, how modern society can be compared to the life of insects, how love or sexual attraction can come at you fast, even when (or especially when) you know it’s doomed or dangerous, whether it’s best to get your first draft out in one go or take your time over revisions, why you sometimes have to let your characters dictate the action and change your ending and the difficult job of building up tension and making sure the denouement justifies the journey.
