Little Atoms 315 – Natalie Haynes & Justin Quirk

Natalie Haynes is a writer, broadcaster, reviewer and classicist. She was once a stand-up comic, but retired when she realised she preferred tragedy to comedy. Always keen to be paid for what she would be reading anyway, she judged the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year in 2010, The Women’s Prize for Fiction in 2012, the Man Booker Prize in 2013, and is currently judging the Independent’s Foreign Fiction Prize. Natalie is the author of a non-fiction book The Ancient Guide to Modern Life, and The Amber Fury isn’t her first novel. Also this week, journalist Justin Quirk shares his love for Iron Maiden.
