I'm producer Mia Sorenti. Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Sorenti. In this episode we return for part two of our recent live event with Booker prize winning novelist Douglas Stewart. Stewart joined us at Union Chapel to discuss his new novel, John of John.
Following on from his acclaimed works, Suggy Bane and Young Mungo, Stewart returns to themes of masculinity, family and sexuality in the remote island of Harris. He was in conversation with content creator Jack Edwards. If you haven't heard part one, we recommend jumping back an episode to catch up. But now let's return to the conversation live at Union Chapel in London.
A major part of John's identity as you've mentioned is his religion. He's characterized with his Bible clutched to his chest, and he's always the first to raise his voice to God when they're in a church. You may understand now why we're in this venue. And Protestantism, the Presbyterian Kirk, and Calvinism are key ideas presented here. So tell me where your interest in that first came about.
