Jem Calder on I Want You to Be Happy with Amos O'Connor

At the Portobello Bookshop, we're always excited to hear debut authors talking to dedicated booksellers, so you can imagine how much we loved the conversation featured in this episode! Jem Calder visited the shop to celebrate the launch of his debut novel, I Want You to Be Happy, earlier this year. Our very own bookseller Amos O'Connor led a fantastic discussion on the novel, the craft of writing, and much more. The audience was hanging on every word and we loved hearing more about Calder's process, and hints at a new book in the future! We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did.
