In this final @BBCTwo interview, which was shown in the 2020 Booker Prize winner ceremony, #2020BookerPrize shortlisted author @brandonlgtaylor discusses how his own life experiences are reflected within the novel, Real Life: 

‘One of the tensions the novel tries to unpack is this idea of what it’s like to be a black person in academia… every racist thing that has happened to Wallace in the novel… those are the things that people have said or done to me’
