This week we’re discussing Second* Novel Syndrome. When you’ve had a literary hit how do you follow it?
After the recent announcement of her new book, ‘Small Pond’ Monica Heisey (whose debut, ‘Really Good, Actually’ was an international smash hit) tells us about her experiences of tackling the infamously tricky second novel. And we talk about the stories where novelists have digested the success of their previous work on the page.

Books discussed:
Sophie, Standing There by Meg Mason
Beautiful World, Where Are You by Sally Rooney
The Unconsoled by Kazuo Ishiguro
Lunar Park by Bret Easton Ellis

Caroline briefly comes off hiatus to chat with country music aficionado Jof Owen about Dolly Parton. Together we try to get to the bottom of what made Dolly such a universal force of hope, how she created an image that could be drawn by a child yet be based on 'the town trash', and where the 'real' Dolly can be found.
