Madeleine Gray on 'The Green Dot' - Booksmart

What this episode covers

Is there a better way to kick off this year then chatting with the author of one of the most buzziest books of 2023?! Madeleine Gray is an arts writer, book critic, a PhD candidate in English literature at the University of Manchester (what can't she do!?) and the author of The Green Dot. The book has been described witty, profound and painfully relatable debut novel exploring solitude, desire, and the allure of chasing something that promises nothing. It's also REALLY funny. Maddy sat down with our Editor-in-Chief Hannah Diviney to discuss the writing and publishing process, and what she has learnt on the way. It's an episode not to be missed.
