DBC Pierre’s Big Snake Little Snake is a characteristically freewheeling, riotous account of a couple of years the author lived in the Caribbean, spending his time, among other endeavours, conducting an inquiry into risk. It’s also an extraordinarily fun book, yet with a deep seriousness at its core. Seeking to understand, as it does, how the world can be presented to us as fundamentally indifferent, while also being so clearly, and so often, unfair.

Booker Prize winning novelist DBC Pierre tells us how growing up in Mexico influenced his writing. We also speak to the historian Andrew Paxman about his new biography of William Jenkins, an American entrepreneur who became the richest man in Mexico.

The 62nd Book Slam Podcast is fuller than a family bucket and arguably more sustaining. It features DBC Pierre , reading from and discussing the brilliant ' Petit Mal ', Michael Smith introducing us to ' Unreal City ', music from Thabo and The Real Deal , comedy from Matt Okine , and the ineffable Salena Godden 's memoir, ' Springfield Road '. Elliott and Patrick reunite in a London studio for the first time in months to remarkably familiar effect.

The 30th Book Slam podcast features the inimitable Salena Godden (pictured) doing an excellent impression of herself, DBC Pierre discussing his latest novel, ' Lights Out In Wonderland ' and one-man-and-his-pram Lewis Floyd Henry tearing it up like a poster boy for post-Hendrix. Plus acclaimed poet Ruth Padel faces the fear of Angebot and the Book Slam Big 5. Patrick thanks everyone, no thanks to Elliott.
