Book Talk

In this episode of Bookmarked Ryan Van Winkle introduces four interviews that take us all over the world: Gavin Francis, author of Empire Antarctica, talks about ice, silence and Emperor Penguins; we visit the Erbil Literature Festival in Kurdistan to hear from young Iraqi writer Sabrin Qadi and her Scottish counterpart Krystelle Bamford; Closer to home, we speak to Glasgow crime author Caro Ramsay about her new book The Blood of Crows, which The Guardian called a "bleak, black and brilliant" read.
