BBC World Service - In the Studio, Marlon James - Jamaican Novelist

Since winning the Man Booker Prize for Fiction in 2015 for his novel A Brief History of Seven Killings, based around the assassination attempt on Bob Marley in 1970s Jamaica, Marlon has been researching and writing his much anticipated Dark Star Trilogy.
He now lives in Minneapolis, in the northern U.S. state of Minnesota and he shows the BBC’s Andrea Kidd around his new studio near downtown, where he works surrounded by books and by African and sci-fi images on the wall. He also reveals some of the characters that are exciting his imagination – from three hundred year old women to African vampires who attack in daylight.
