Ben Marcus and Eley Williams: Notes from the Fog

Ben Marcus is one of contemporary American fiction’s most masterful writers. His new book of short stories, ​Notes from the Fog (Granta), is an emotional handbook to the baffling times we live in; a cabinet of brain-rearranging stories which are both horrifyingly strange and deeply touching. From parent/child relationships thrown off kilter to scenarios of dependence and emotional crisis; from left-alone bodies to new scientific frontiers, Marcus is the a chronicler of the present uncanny and the peculiar future.

He was in discussion with Eley Williams, author of ​Attrib. and Other Stories (Influx Press).
