About this listen
Shane Whaley and author I.S. Berry (The Peacock and the Sparrow) welcome spy thriller author Dan Fesperman to talk about his latest novel, Pariah.
What happens when a disgraced stand-up comedian becomes a CIA asset in a fictional Eastern European country? Listen/Watch On.
Topics covered include:
- The real-world politics that inspired Pariah
- How cancel culture shapes protagonist Hal Knight
- Building a believable fictional Eastern/Central European setting (Bolrovia!)
- Why did Dan Fesperman choose to create a fictional country rather than base Pariah in a real country?
- Humour in serious spy fiction
- Do spy novels need to have a geopolitical canvas?
- Food in spy novels. Chimney cake anyone?
- Why Dan Fesperman's audiobook producer stopped him from singing one of the songs referenced in Pariah.
Dan Fesperman also reveals that his next novel will feature Winter Work's Emil Grimm; he also shares his thoughts on what makes a spy novel and the guests give a shoutout to the unsung real-life spies.
Dan Fesperman's Pariah is perfect for fans of le Carré, McCloskey, Paul Vidich and for readers craving spy fiction with depth, nuance and laughs.
