Previous Episode: Monocle Reads: Ellen Wiles

Jarred McGinnis is a debut novelist but he’s not new to the literary scene. His short fiction has appeared in journals in the UK and North America, and he has been commissioned for BBC Radio 4. His organisation The Special Relationship puts on events that experiment in live literature and it was chosen for the British Council’s International Literary Showcase. Georgina Godwin speaks to McGinnis about his new book ‘The Coward’, which fictionalises his own autobiography and the aftermath of the accident that changed his life.
