Alexander McCall Smith

As an author, Alexander McCall Smith has taken millions of readers to the heart of Botswana through his No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. And even though he’s written or contributed to more than 100 books, writing is still a point of self-reflection for him. In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore the beautiful African nation his characters live in, how Alexander approached a modern retelling of a Jane Austen classic, and what book he considers a must-read.
