Our New ˾þ Book Club has been reading Laline Paull’s Pod, a novel told from the perspective of a dolphin. This week our culture editor Alison Flood got to catch up with the author of the Women’s Prize for Fiction-shortlisted novel, and find out why she decided to write a story that initially felt too daunting, how she put together a scene she pondered calling “oceanic sex rave”, and why we should all care more about the treatment of our oceans.
Pod is the latest pick for New ˾þ’s new book club, for which you can sign up here
