Winner of the Man Booker Prize 2018, Anna Burns talks to Ted Hodgkinson about how she went about creating a story that won one of the most prestigious prizes in literature, why her characters don't need names and when her writing makes her feel 'angel shivers'.

"You only get the first step and then you have to trust and have faith that more steps will come, and it will all make sense in the end."
ANNA BURNS
