The experimental novelist on finding God, being "a misfit" and her return to writing.
--
Nicola Barker is "has broken the mould so many times it's almost beyond repair".
She's a post-punk literary anarchist who writes from the peripheries of the UK.
Her experiments with narrative form have won her many plaudits, including the Goldsmith's Prize for literary fiction, which the New Statesman partners with.
Barker joins Tanjil Rashid on the New Statesman culture podcast to discuss her latest novel, Tony Interrupter: a comedy about art, virality, chaos, and the surprising impact of freak events in Kent.
