Howl follows primary school head Ferdinand Draxler as he wanders London in despair; in the aftermath of 7 October, everything has changed, including himself. The son of a Holocaust survivor who accuses him of cowardice, and the father of a daughter who sees him as complicit in genocide, he shouts at the TV and carries around a paint tin to cover graffiti. The Booker Prize and Wodehouse Prize winner joins literary critic Adam Kirsch to discuss his new book, and more.
