Benjamin Myers: The Offing

This week Gilly Smith chats (remotely) with award-winining author,
Benjamin Myers whose success with his previous novels, particularly
The Gallows Pole has given him the accolade of the most powerful
new voices in literature.   In this, his eighth
novel, The Offing, he tells a Homeric tale of Robert, a 16
year old boy who sets out across 1950’s Yorkshire to Robin Hood’s
Bay and finds a gloriously long summer of food, poetry and an
unlikely freidnship with an eccentric and artistic older woman
called Dulcie.
