Hear bestselling novelist Sebastian Faulks, author of Birdsong, A Week in December and The Fatal Englishman in conversation about his latest book.

In Fires Which Burned Brightly, Faulks, a reluctant memoirist, offers readers a series of detailed snapshots from a life in progress. They include a post-war rural childhood, the booze-sodden heyday of Fleet Street, and a career as one of the country’s most acclaimed novelists.
