Mark Haddon joins Clare English to talk about his new novel The Red House, the story of a family holiday that threatens to be an incredibly long week for all involved!

Author of 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time', Mark Haddon, joins Clare to talk about his masterful new novel, The Red House, the story of a family holiday in the rainy Welsh borders that threatens to be an incredibly long week for all involved!

Canadian writer Alexander MacLeod discusses following in the footsteps of his father, Alistair MacLeod, in the form in which he excelled, the short story.

And, as London's The School of Life publishes a series of mini self-help guides to modern living and takes its authors on a UK tour, one of them, psychotherapist Philippa Perry, joins us ahead of their Edinburgh date to talk about How to Stay Sane.

Producer: Serena Field.
