Tom Lanoye & James Yorkston (2016 Event)
Two doppelgänger Belgian exiles are on the run in Tom Lanoye’s latest novel, Fortunate Slaves. When they finally meet they realise that each could hold the solution to the other's problems. James Yorkston is familiar as one of Scotland’s finest singer-songwriters and he turns his storytelling skills to new use in his debut novel, Three Craws, a gorgeously atmospheric, quirky story of broken dreams and longing. They discuss their novels with Zoe Venditozzi in this event filmed live at the 2016 Edinburgh International Book Festival.
