Jon McGregor: Unsettling Stories Under Huge Open Skies

Jon McGregor's last novel, Even the Dogs, confirmed him as one of Britain's most talented fiction writers. He returns to discuss his new book of short stories, This Isn't the Sort of Thing That Happens to Someone Like You. There’s a strong sense of impending apocalypse in his stories, but many are playful and surprisingly funny. In what has been dubbed 'the year of the short story', this is one of 2012's literary highlights. Part of Edinburgh International Book Festival
