American Author Lionel Shriver Speaks to Mariella Frostrup

Lionel Shriver is a celebrated and best-selling author who set the world ablaze back in 2011 with the Orange Prize award-winning novel We Need to Talk About Kevin. Ever since she’s been keeping us supplied with a steady stream of thought-provoking novels that question our most basic assumptions about human society from parenthood to making money to dying. Her new novel, out next week, centres around an elderly couple bound in a suicide pact. Should I stay or Should I go follows Kay and her husband Cyril who, having worked for decades as medical professionals, have seen too many of their elderly patients pass away in states of decay. Determined to die with dignity, they make a deal to end their lives together once they’ve turned eighty, content in their 50s that they have another three decades to look forward to together She speaks to Mariella Frostrup about her book and more.
