Stories of Splendid Isolation creates moments of literary respite in the wake of Covid-19. I’m delighted to have added some of my thoughts alongside Olivia Sudjic, Joe Dunthorne and others. You can listen by activating Google Assistant - listeners can hear writers from around the world share their reflections during a time of uncertainty, like a literary version of Thought for the Day.

New stories will be made available every day, for free. Here is how to listen:
Open the Google Assistant – on iOS, you’ll need to download the Google Assistant app –  and say: “Hey Google, talk to Stories of Splendid Isolation” The Google Assistant will take care of the rest.  Happy listening!’
