The Book Café - Audrey Niffenegger

In this interview Stuart Kelly, Literary Editor of Scotland on Sunday, talks to Audrey Niffenegger, author of the six million- selling 'The Time Traveller's Wife' and a unique voice in contemporary literature. They discuss her writing, her inspirations and her reaction to becoming a successful novelist after years spent as a visual artist. She reveals that she only wrote 'The Time Traveller's Wife' as a conventional novel because it wasn't working as a graphic novel and coins a description for her new book, calling it 'the 21st century 19th century novel'.
