What can make itself at home in the house of fiction? Houses, being at home, and neighbours all matter in Tina Makereti's new novel, The Mires.
Described by Shankari Chandran as a novel about 'the monsters we've created and the power we have to stop them,' this novel asks how we imagine others' lives, and share our own stories with others. What stories are pressing for us now? What might fiction help us imagine?
Dougall McNeill joins Tina to discuss world-building and the storehouse of storytelling in The Mires.
