Up for discussion on this week’s books review is ‘Beneath the Earth’, a series of short stories by the ‘The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas’ author John Boyne, and a posthumous collection of work by horror writer Shirley Jackson. Plus: we talk about ‘Submission’, the English translation of a book by French writer Michel Houellebecq that required him to go into hiding when the Charlie Hebdo attacks took place earlier this year.
