  • Summary

  • The Graham Norton Book Club is back.

    We’re still all about the stories – reading them, writing then, listening to them, talking about them - and in our new series we’re featuring some of the world’s best storytellers including Margaret Atwood, Matt Haig, Walter Mosley, Lisa Taddeo and Val McDermid.

    We’ll also hear from the famous voices behind some of the best audio books around (try Dave Grohl, Miriam Margolyes, Derren Brown and David Sedaris for starters) while, of course, each time our brilliant band of clubbers hotly debate the merits of our book of the week. All this plus news, reviews and recommendations on what to read or listen to next.

    Come and join the Club. You’re very welcome.

    Oct 24 2021

    In the first of a brand-new series, Graham talks to best-selling ‘tartan noir’ doyenne, Val McDermid, about her latest novel, 1979 and our clubbers debate whether it was, in fact, a good year.

    Plus, Nirvana and Foo Fighters rock legend, Dave Grohl, reveals how he created and voiced his memoir, The Storyteller. All this and plenty more including a glimpse behind the Booker prize curtain and an insiders-guide to what’s trending on the book charts.

  • Ep 2: Margaret Atwood and Derren Brown
    Oct 27 2021

    The Book Club entertains literary royalty as Margaret Atwood tells Graham about her Booker-nominated story of murder and madness, Alias Grace, and the clubbers pass judgement on whether it stands up in court. Master illusionist, Derren Brown, reveals some of his ‘secrets’ and, inspired by Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, Alex Clark guides us through three books who have staged impressive come-backs. All this plus which chart-toppers to watch.

  • Ep 3: Naoise Dolan and Miriam Margolyes
    Nov 4 2021

    Our book of the week is Naoise Dolan’s smash hit debut, Exciting Times. Graham talks to her about creating this story of young, misguided love and our clubbers reveal if they’re excited about it or not.

    National treasure and storyteller extraordinaire, Miram Margolyes, shares some ‘truths’ about her life and Sara Collins proves that size doesn’t matter (when it comes to books).

    We’ve also got chart choices and plenty of other reviews and recommendations.
