Author Chris Beckett joins us on The Writing Life to explore styles of dialogue in literature and how he employs it in his novel Two Tribes.

Covering topics as wide-ranging as conversation-as-animal-grooming to Brexit, Chris shares his tips and insight into how humans interact and different ways of capturing that on the page. Asking the questions is Sam Ruddock of Gatehouse Press and Story Machines Productions.
