Description
David Wolstencroft discusses his novel, “Good News, Bad News.” He begins by explaining that his book is about two co-workers who think the other is a spy. He talks about the differences between espionage in Britain and in the United States. He describes what it was like growing up in Scotland and attending school in Hawaii. Wolstencroft discusses his career as a television writer, and how he decided to incorporate his ideas into a novel. Martinson asks Wolstencroft to read a passage about two friends who are reunited after many years. He ends the interview by talking about how he used to write sketch comedy.
