Award-winning Scottish novelist Andrew O’Hagan speaks to Michael McGirr about the role of the novelist against the dangerous lure of newspaper controversy and a culture that threatens to “understand less and condemn more”.

O'Hagan reveals some of the Scottish – and North American – inspirations behind his stories, and his passion for baffling, annoying and rich characters in literary history. Discussing love, religion and class, he urges us to exercise our humanity in a complex world.
