  • Summary

  • The Graham Norton Book Club is back. 

    We’re still all about the stories – reading them, writing then, listening to them, talking about them - and in our new series we’re featuring some of the world’s best storytellers including Margaret Atwood, Matt Haig, Walter Mosley, Lisa Taddeo and Val McDermid. 

    We’ll also hear from the famous voices behind some of the best audio books around (try Dave Grohl, Miriam Margolyes, Derren Brown and David Sedaris for starters) while, of course, each time our brilliant band of clubbers hotly debate the merits of our book of the week. All this plus news, reviews and recommendations on what to read or listen to next. 

    Come and join the Club. You’re very welcome.

Episodes
  • Ep 10: Isabel Allende and Weruche Opia
    Dec 23 2021

    In 1982, Isabel Allende’s novel, The House of the Spirits, shot her to fame and acclaim as one of the world’s finest exponents of magic realism. She talks to Graham about that – her first novel - and her latest, Violeta, out in January – 40 years on. 

    Our clubbers discuss whether the book lifted their spirits, and I May Destroy You star, Weruche Opia, reveals why she loves voicing audio books so much. Plus, Sara Collins has some advice on the best books to fill a stocking. 

    We’d like to thank Audible Limited for the use of the extract from Descendants of the First by Reni K Amayo.

  • Ep 9: Lisa Taddeo and Penelope Keith
    Dec 16 2021

    When Three Women came out in 2019, it became a publishing sensation with its ground-breaking storytelling style and its frank exploration of female desire and the gender power-balance. Graham talks to its author, Lisa Taddeo, about how the book came about and finds out if it hit the spot for our clubbers. Alex Clark matches ‘three women’ with three men – fascinating male characters from fiction – and actress (and national treasure), Penelope Keith, reveals how she brings detective, Agatha Raisin, to life.

Yaa tells Graham about creating such an extraordinary journey and our clubbers discuss how they felt about undertaking it. Sara Collins highlights three other books that powerfully take on the topic of slavery and Booker Prize winner, Bernardine Evaristo, talks about speaking her truth in Manifesto.

My first podcast review

I must admit that I am relatively new to the whole podcast idea... the more I have become disenchanted with regular network television, however, the more I have come to appreciate podcasts. I have ALWAYS loved books and this is a wonderful way to learn about new authors and genres that I can try out. Bit of a trial run, so to speak... I love the book discussion between the Readers!

So great

Graham Norton is such a talented interviewer. I’d tune in even if he were talking to a brick wall.

More Sedaris less grammatically challenged Michelle Zauner

Love nearly everything David Sedaris, and love Graham Norton. Cannot take any author seriously who persists in saying “between my mother and I.” Had to fast forward, heard snippets of the dialogue, and it was as excruciating as she was.
