Jane Smiley, and writing gay lives from the past with Tom Crewe and Nell Stevens
Chris Power talks to Jane Smiley, Tom Crewe and Nell Stevens about drawing on marginal - and radical - voices from history in their fiction.
Chris Power talks to Jane Smiley about her new book A Dangerous Business, set in 1850s Monterey when women's lives were not only constrained but often at risk.
Luke Roberts helped to uncover a forgotten gay novel from the 1960s. He retraces poet Mark Hyatt's footsteps in Soho.
