In 2014 a book with a striking bird on its cover appeared in
bookshops but what kind of book was it? Was it a memoir about
grief, or a book about training a goshawk? Was it a biography of
T. H. White, or was it nature writing? Or was it perhaps a
melding of all of these things? And how did this hybrid book go
on to become an award winner and international bestseller? In
this episode we hear from Helen Macdonald about turning grief
into almost a new genre of writing and from the team at publisher
Jonathan Cape, which celebrates its centenary this year, about
creating a modern classic.

Featuring: Helen Macdonald, Dan Franklin, Suzanne Dean, Chris
Wormell, Ruth Waldram, Rob Verner Jeffreys, Steve Bundy
