New York Times bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize winner Daniel Kraus spoke with us about book promotion as an introvert, writing two books a year, his creative process, and his first sci-fi novel, THE SIXTH NIK. Daniel Kraus is a New York Times bestselling novelist, screenwriter, and 2026 Pulitzer Prize winner for fiction for his novel Angel Down. His novel Whalefall received a front-cover review in The New York Times Book Review, won the Alex Award, was an Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist, and was named a Best Book of Year by NPR, The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and more. His latest novel is The Sixth Nik, “Perfectly aligned for readers of Iain M. Banks's The Culture series and Ursula K. Le Guin's “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas”, The Sixth Nik is a galaxy-spanning adventure,” that Booklist called “Strange and intense and impossible to look away from … sf at its most daring.” Daniel Kraus coauthored The Shape of Water with Guillermo del Toro, based on the same idea the two created for the Oscar-winning film. Also with del Toro, Kraus coauthored Trollhunters, which was adapted into the Emmy Award–winning Netflix series. Kraus has won the Bram Stoker Award, Scribe Award, two Odyssey Awards (for both Rotters and Scowler), and has appeared multiple times as Library Guild selections, and more. Kraus's work has been translated into over 25 languages.

Kylie's documenting, Davina's performing, Katie Price is still somehow making headlines and Victoria is emotionally recovering from catalogue shopping trauma.This week the girls chat Kylie's new documentary, the glory days of Avon and flipping through catalogues like they were sacred texts, plus Davina's triumphant return to the stage with her revamped hit fringe show Diary of a Dublin Drag Diva.And yes — the Rotters are back. Unfortunately, so are the people in them. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Petty Little Things is back with another gloriously unfiltered episode, and this week Davina Devine and Victoria Secret are diving headfirst into nostalgia, pop culture, and a few well-deserved rants.We're raising a glass to 40 fabulous years of Dublin's iconic George Bar — the stories, the scandals, and the unforgettable nights that shaped a community. From there, we shift gears to chat about Una Healy's brand new EP Beating Heart, giving our honest take on the sound, the vibes, and whether it's a hit or a miss.Of course, it wouldn't be Petty Little Things without a little generational tension — we unpack just how clueless Gen Z can be (and yes, we said what we said). Plus, we get into the return of Madonna, what it really means, and how internal gay culture is evolving — for better or worse.And don't worry, the claws are out for our weekly fan-favourite segment: Rotters of the Week — where we call out the mess, the mayhem, and the people who truly tried it.Sharp tongues, big laughs, and absolutely no holding back — just the way you like it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on Petty Little Things, we dive headfirst into the glitter, chaos, and controversy surrounding the launch of Davina's Devine Apprentice — and trust us, we have thoughts. From first impressions to standout moments (and a few questionable choices), nothing is off-limits.We're also unpacking the hottest topics of the week, serving up unfiltered opinions, petty takes, and just the right amount of shade. And of course, it wouldn't be Petty Little Things without crowning our Rotters of the Week — the people, moments, and mishaps that have us side-eyeing hard. Hosted on Acast.

Our First episode of 2026, we investigate the uprising of instafication religion, and jesus within younger people, we also discuss Ai nails, Rotters of the Week and so much more.... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, Adam Biles welcomes Jonathan Coe to Shakespeare and Company in Paris for a rich, funny, and wide-ranging conversation about Coe's genre-bending novel The Proof of My Innocence. What begins as a playful pastiche of a cozy crime mystery evolves into three interlocking novellas—a whodunnit, a piece of dark academia, and a fragment of autofiction—that push at the limits of storytelling itself. Coe discusses why crime fiction offers comfort in anxious times, how the destabilising politics of late 2022 (from Liz Truss to the Queen's death) seeped into the book, and why he's increasingly drawn to overtly fictional narratives in an age suspicious of facts. He reflects on class, Cambridge, generational politics, and the powerful role fiction plays in preserving memory. Filled with humour and insight, the conversation offers both a defence of storytelling and a portrait of Britain in flux.Buy The Proof of My Innocence: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/the-proof-of-my-innocence-3Jonathan Coe was born in Birmingham in 1961. He is the award-winning, bestselling author of fifteen novels, including What a Carve Up!, The Rotters' Club, Middle England and, most recently, The Proof of My Innocence. He has won the Costa Novel Award, the Prix du Livre Européen, the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize, the Prix Médicis Étranger and the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize, among many others. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and an Officier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. His work has been translated into twenty-two languages. Jonathan Coe lives in London.Adam Biles is Literary Director at Shakespeare and Company.Listen to Alex Freiman's latest EP, In The Beginning: https://open.spotify.com/album/5iZYPMCUnG7xiCtsFCBlVa?si=h5x3FK1URq6SwH9Kb_SO3w Hosted on Acast.
