Listen to an audio recording of Matt in conversation

On 7 May 2013, to launch Matt Haig's excellent book The Humans, Booktrust threw him a launch party. Author Nikesh Shukla was in conversation with him. They talked about writing, about 'The Humans', about rejection, depression, earnestness and they talked about lists. They had fun times. Listen to an extract of the conversation, featuring an introduction from Matt's editor Francis Bickmore at Canongate.

Matt also reads extracts from The Humans.
