FreeHere Be Leviathans: Chris Flynn in Conversation
Literary critic Declan Fry has described Chris Flynn as ‘a restless experimenter, a fabulist’. In his compelling new collection of short stories, Here Be Leviathans, Chris gives a voice to the world around us, with narrators including a bear, a river, a platypus and a hotel room.
He speaks to Kate Mildenhall about embracing the absurd, breaking rules, and finding your voice as a writer.
