In this week's podcast we stay close to home, with a trip around the London Book Fair to find out what is exciting publishers, writers and readers as the industry begins to come to terms with the new economic – and creative – realities. We hear from Ian Pears about his novel-in-progress, Arcadia, a digital story with an infinite number of reading routes, and we find out how Tamarind books is still fighting racial discrimination in children's books.
We also meet some of the young British novelists under 40 who feature in Granta's latest anthology, and discuss how this latest list measures up to its predecessors going back to 1983.
We're joined in the studio by Naomi Alderman, one of their number, who explains what the listing means to her, and talks about her latest book, The Liar's Gospel.
