Leading human rights lawyer Clive Stafford Smith was brought up by an obsessive man. Following his father’s death, through his letters, Stafford Smith uncovered a picture of someone deeply troubled. In The Far Side of the Moon he sets what he learned alongside his experience of representing a death row client with acute depression. Stafford Smith is joined today by his friend, comedian Frankie Boyle to discuss his taboo-breaking, profoundly personal book.
