Brian Dillon and Olivia Laing: ‘Suppose a Sentence’

from London Review Bookshop Podcast · host London Review Bookshop

Writer and critic Brian Dillon’s latest book Suppose a Sentence (Fitzcarraldo) is a series of essays, each of them taking as its pretext a single sentence drawn from literature. What emerges is a dazzling experiment in criticism, a personal and at times polemical investigation of style, meaning and sense. Dillon was in conversation about his work with Olivia Laing, author of Funny Weather and Crudo. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
