Jim Crace, Francine Stock
Being Dead
Hay Festival 2000,
Crace invents new worlds in his brilliantly imaginative novels Quarantine, Arcadiaand The Gift of Stones. Being Deadis a sustained meditation on death and the process of dying, full of haunting imagery. It 'is shocking because it is filled with truth. It feels like a classic already.' (Time Out) Crace talks to novelist and broadcaster Francine Stock.
