Wendy Erskine & John Niven: Darkly Humorous Fiction

Expect dark humour and keen insights into parenthood in this conversation with John Niven and Wendy Erskine. Erskine's The Benefactors examines the lengths privileged parents will go to protect their children. Meanwhile, in Niven's The Fathers, two very different men meet for the first time in a maternity ward. Caoilinn Hughes talks with both about their unflinching portrayals of modern life, blended with a healthy dose of wit and empathy.
