William Boyd on the power of the novel
"However intimate someone is, people are closed off from us. We don’t really know what they’re thinking, but you do know what they’re thinking in a novel." William Boyd talks to t5m about the power of the novel as a tool for in-depth critique of society. While an autobiography may recount facts and events in a person’s life, only a novel can truly account for how that person is feeling, what it is they are thinking."The power of a novel resides in it’s ability to explain ourselves to each other far better than anything else." William has written bestselling novels including 'A Good Man In Africa', 'An Ice Cream War', and 'Restless'.

Exclusive Profile: William Boyd on leading a double...
Scottish screenwriter and novelist William Boyd was born in Accra in Ghana, and spent most of his early childhood in Nigeria, explaining that “I wanted to be a painter actually when I was at school. I was very good at art. My father said it was out of the question”. However, perhaps unsurprisingly for one of our generations most prolific writers, William does also describe himself as an avid, compulsive reader of books. William tells t5m about his exciting childhood, which saw him leaving Africa to go to boarding school in Scotland, and moved between the two worlds for the next nine years, a process he calls a ‘double life’. In an exclusive and personal interview with t5m, William tells us about his fascinating childhood and the implications this had on his conception of his own identity, as well as describing to his the painstaking detail of his writing process. William Boyd on t5m is essential viewing for anyone fascinated, intrigued or inspired by the power of English literature.

The R.O.M.E.O.S - Ep.1 (Katy Chevigny)
ROMEO is an acronym for 'Retired Old Men Eating Out' and features an informal club of retired lawyers, writers and intellectuals who meet every week at a classic New York diner. It is a long lunch to talk about anything and everything; telling old jokes, making fun of each other, complaining about politics. This is what the conversation would be like if the guys from 'Diner' hung out 50 years after the movie.
