Name: Booked Out January 2017 - American Fiction by Suffolk Libraries
Duration: 26 min 30 s
Description: Richard and guests discuss some of their favourite works of American fiction including: 'The World According to Garp' by John Irving, 'Dark Town' by Thomas Mullen, 'The Border Trilogy' by Cormac McCarthy and 'Butcher's Crossing' by John Williams.

In the very first DrivenByWords podcast, Walsall's Mobile Library drives Young Adult author Polly Ho-Yen around, before returning to base to record an interview with her. Find out why Polly came to Walsall, how important libraries are to her, and whether or not she's any good at spelling.

Hosted by Gemma Todd and Lyn Lovern

Polly Ho-Yen is DrivenByWords

In this podcast we speak to My Name is Leon author, Kit de Waal. We took Kit out for a drive on the Mobile Library van to one of our regular, timetabled stops. Once we’d parked up, Gemma got out some cakes she’d promised us and we hit record on the Dictaphone. Find out about Kit’s love of libraries, her favourite books, and a little bit about her next book and why it’s currently untitled. Oh, and say hello to Fact Frog, making his first appearance in a DBW podcast.
