Donal Ryan and Imogen Hermes Gower (What's the point of no carb diets?)

Irish writer and Man Booker Prize longlistee Donal Ryan and debut author Imogen Hermes Gower go head to head in the Book Off!


John Steinbeck is pitted against Beryl Bainbridge in this episode - but who do you think should win?


Imogen discusses the pressures of writing after a huge bidding war and financial deal and Donal explains how he has only really been a full-time author for 3 months of his life. All this plus no carb diets and how docks can be romantic.
