Yesterday, on BBC's Open Book Christopher Bollen was interviewed about his literary murder mystery Orient.
From BBC Radio 4:
American novelist Christopher Bollen talks about his novel Orient, a literary murder mystery set in a remote town on the very tip of Long Island. Local people are already dismayed by the number of newcomers, mostly artists, moving to the town from New York and their fears are increased when a young orphan arrives to stay. Meanwhile, strange creatures are washing up on the beach and a caretaker dies in mysterious circumstances. Christopher Bollen talks to Mariella about his own experiences living in Orient and how he has fictionalised its inhabitants.
