Richard and Judy Podcast: William Boyd discusses Sweet Caress

In the podcast below returning author to the Richard and Judy Book Club, William Boyd tells us about his writing process and how it differs from his work as a journalist, screenwriter and playwright and gives his advice to aspiring young writers. His latest book, Sweet Caress takes us through the major events of the twentieth century through the lens of a camera wielded by a young girl, Amory Clay. Richard and Judy caught up with William Boyd to ask him about how he came up for the idea of his new novel, whether he ever feels daunted by the immensity of starting another book, where he found the seventy-three photographs interspersed in the narrative, what his favourite book of his is and what he’s writing now. Have a listen to hear all about Sweet Caress and the inspiration behind it from William Boyd himself.
