Download Jack Thorne and Peter Kosminsky
AN INSTANCE OF THE FINGERPOST by Iain Pears, chosen by Peter Kosminsky
HEROES OF THE FOURTH TURNING by Will Arbery, chosen by Jack Thorne
PERFECTION by Vincenzo Latronico, chosen by Harriett Gilbert
Thorne and Kosminsky are great friends, but don't fully agree on the books discussed. Topics raised by their choices include toxic masculinity, empathy, and whether or not Succession is a great TV series.
Peter has chosen An Instance of the Fingerpost by Iain Pears, a restoration murder mystery told by four unreliable narrators. Jack advocates for Heroes of the Fourth Turning by Will Arbery, a play about four right-wing Catholics meeting at a college reunion. Harriett has gone for Perfection by Vincenzo Latronico, a satire telling the tale of a millennial couple living in fashionable Berlin.
