    In this podcast, I interview Francis Spufford. Francis is a former Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year (1997) and has authored five highly praised books of non-fiction. His first book, 'I May Be Some Time: Ice and the English Imagination' was awarded the Writers Guild Award for Best Non-Fiction Book of 1996 and a Somerset Maugham Award. His second book 'The Child That Books Built' gave Neil Gaiman “the peculiar feeling that there was now a book I didn't need to write”. In 2007, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and his first novel, 'Golden Hill', was published in 2016 and won the Costa First Novel Award. He’s also a Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing at Goldsmiths University, and for this podcast, I visited his office to speak about his deeply funny and profound 2012 book 'Unapologetic: Why, Despite Everything, Christianity Can Still Make Surprising Emotional Sense.'
