Patricia Lockwood & Raymond Antrobus: Agate Head / Stone Soup

Wednesday, November 4, 2026 • Duration 01:09:06

Patricia Lockwood’s literary career began with poetry, and her second poetry collection (the first to make it to the UK) Motherland Fatherland Homelandsexuals, published in 2014, left her many fans desperate for more of her surreal, subversive, zany, deadly serious wit. For more than a decade they’ve had to make do with a brilliant memoir, two brilliant pieces of autofiction and her many superb essays and reviews in the pages of the LRB. Now at last comes Agate Head / Stone Soup, a poetry collection that blends her new-found passion for metalwork with reflections on geological time, internet memes, explorations of organic bodies, and observations of youth. Lockwood was talking to poet and fellow Booker judge, Raymond Antrobus, whose latest book is The Quiet Ear. You can buy a copy of Agate Head / Stone Soup from the London Review Bookshop.

Jeremy Lee & Bee Wilson: Kitchening

Wednesday, October 28, 2026 • Duration 59:12

Jeremy Lee’s smoked eel sandwich became a London sensation when it was introduced at Soho’s Quo Vadis, where Lee is chef proprietor and, amongst other things, led Jay Rayner to call him ‘a rare phenomena in the London food world; a chap everyone agrees is a good thing.’ Now his second cookbook Kitchening (4th Estate) continues his exploration of the two most important things in great cooking: simplicity and deliciousness. Jeremy discussed his philosophy of food with one of the country’s leading food writers Bee Wilson, author of, most recently, The Heart-Shaped Tin (4th Estate).

Lavinia Greenlaw & Mark Wallinger: On Difficulty (and Poetry)

Wednesday, October 21, 2026 • Duration 58:26

In On Difficulty (Faber), her latest book of non-poetry, poet and essayist Lavinia Greenlaw explores the fascination, terror and opportunity of wrestling with the opaque, the obscure, the complex and the indeterminate. Is poetry really difficult, and do we like it more when it is? Can difficulty provide its own solution? These and other questions are answered by Lavinia Greenlaw in conversation with the artist Mark Wallinger.

Claudia Rankine & Victoria Adukwei Bulley: Triage

Wednesday, October 14, 2026 • Duration 01:11:57

Triage (Allen Lane), Claudia Rankine’s new book, is an unclassifiable piece of writing, blending narrative, criticism and lyricism to create something capable of facing ‘the collective devastation of the present’ (in Saidiya Hartman’s words). Two friends meet in an art gallery after decades of silence: we eavesdrop on their conversation, memories and enduring friendship. Rankine was in conversation with Victoria Adukwei Bulley, whose debut collection Quiet (Faber, 2023) won the Rathbones Folio Poetry Prize.

Transitions: Sita Balani & Jay Bernard

Wednesday, October 7, 2026 • Duration 58:05

In Transitions, the latest title in MACK’s ‘Discourse’ series writers Sita Balani and Jay Bernard, guided by Stuart Hall’s notion of ‘conjuncture’, draw on literature, social theory, and lived experience to offer an urgent account of our fractured present. Their dialogue takes in Britain’s colonial past, the advent of AI and the legacy of extractive capitalism to ask the urgent question: what does it mean to be human in a political culture determined to devalue the Humanities? Their conversation is chaired by Sana Goyal, editor of Wasafiri.

Amy Larocca and Gaby Wood: ‘How to Be Well’

Thursday, October 1, 2026 • Duration 59:10

In How to Be Well, journalist and essayist Amy Larocca takes on the behemoth which is the contemporary ‘wellness’ industry, in prose which Joanna Rakoff has described as a ‘magical synthesis of crackerjack reporting, incisive cultural commentary, and, most importantly, elegant, self-reflective memoir’. From active charcoal toothpaste to green juice enemas, Larocca explores the science and history of various controversial treatments, to reckon with the 3.7-trillion dollar industry’s profits and promises. Larocca was in conversation at the Bookshop with journalist and literary critic Gaby Wood. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Edna Bonhomme & Lola Olufemi: Tending to Our Wounds

Wednesday, September 23, 2026 • Duration 01:16:47

Haitian-American scholar Edna Bonhomme, now based in Berlin, is well placed to unpick what it means to be Black at home and abroad. In Tending to Our Wounds, part memoir, part history, part polemic, she unlearns the lies that she was told about slavery and colonialism, and charts a breathtaking course between the individual and the collective, between past and future, and between oppression and resistance. She was in conversation with Lola Olufemi, author of Feminism for the World, Feminism Interrupted and Experiments in Imagining Otherwise.

Holly Pester & Luke Roberts: Cafés

Wednesday, September 9, 2026 • Duration 54:20

Holly Pester’s Cafés (Fitzcarraldo) continues the trajectory which, since her debut Comic Timing, has made her one of the most exciting poets writing. An elegy for lost communal space, and a stylish political intervention, Francesca Wade has described Cafés as embodying ‘a public space or a place to hide; to meet friends and strangers or to be alone; Pester's brilliance builds this cafe up and invites us in to linger’. Pester was in conversation with Luke Roberts, lecturer at King’s College London, co-director of the small press Distance No Object, and author of (most recently) Bad Omens (Book Works).

Sara Baume & Emily LaBarge: Opening Night

Monday, September 7, 2026 • Duration 01:03:56

Shortly after the pandemic lockdown Sara Baume came across a painting in a pop-up exhibition in a renovated West Cork shed. Fascinated by it, she became determined to make the painter’s acquaintance – although a native of North Dakota the artist Mollie Douthit was now living and working in rural Ireland. Bonded by a common love of nature and a commitment to their respective artistic practices, they began to meet regularly, to talk, to eat and to swim. What would it be like, Baume wondered, to write a book in the style of Mollie’s painting? Opening Night is the result. She was in conversation with Emily LaBarge, author of Dog Days.
