Lisa Halliday on her debut novel Asymmetry, two seemingly unrelated stories in one
Halliday talks to guest host Laurie Brown about her novel Asymmetry and its themes of power and empathy.
Lisa Halliday's debut novel, Asymmetry, has captured the attention of readers for its delicate exploration of power dynamics through two very different lenses: the first, with a May to December love affair that echoes the author's own relationship with Philip Roth; the second, through the eyes of an Iraqi-American economist, detained at Heathrow airport. Halliday joins q guest host Laurie Brown to talk about power and empathy. Asymmetry is out now.
