Description

This week on Writers and Company, host Eleanor Wachtel talks with Scottish author Ali Smith. Ali Smith's newest novel, The Accidental, was short-listed for the Booker this year. The novel is a mystery, with plenty of good twists and turns, and looks at 'accident' as 'coincidence,' and at how we make stories out of the accidents in our lives.
