Tim Parks in conversation with Eddin Khoo

In this sprawling conversation acclaimed novelist, essayist and translator Tim Parks speaks to Eddin Khoo about his myriad preoccupations and diversions — writing across genres, translating Italian literature, on language and reading, and the politics of culture today. The conversation also invokes great figures of Italian literature and history as it meanders from a reflection on Dante in our times, to Garibaldi whose footsteps Tim retraces in his new book, and a personal recollection of the towering literary polymath, Roberto Calasso.
