Interview with Matt Haig

One of the new masters of speculative fiction

Matt Haig 's work is nothing if not multi-faceted: gothic, science fiction, humour, history and children's literature all coexist happily in novels that have been praised by the likes of Neil Gaiman, most recently with How To Stop Time . In this interview with our volunteers after his event at this year's Festival , held with Peter Florence, Haig told us about his great literary icons, including Graham Greene and Italo Calvino, not to mention the genius of Shakespeare.
