About this listen
Exclusive interview with Marina Lewycka, author of A History of Tractors in Ukranian.
Marina Lewycka talks dark comedy, entertainment, the elderly and a bedroom tax.
How can a hapless character, born on the same day as George Clooney, navigate himself through life?
About the book: North London in the 21st century: a place where a son will swiftly adopt an old lady and take her home from hospital to impersonate his dear departed mother rather than lose the council flat. A time of golden job opportunities, though you might have to dress up as a coffee bean or work as an intern at an undertaker or put up with champagne and posh French dinners while your boss hits on you. A place rich in language - whether it's Romanian, Ukrainian, Russian, Swahili or buxom housing officers talking managementese. A place where husbands go absent without leave and councillors sacrifice cherry orchards at the altar of new builds.
