Uncovering family secrets: Bart Moore-Gilbert and Nick Barlay discuss their recent memoirs
Nick Barlay is the author of four acclaimed novels, including Hooky Gear and Curvy Lovebox. He was named as one of Granta’s ‘best young British novelists’ in 2003, until it was discovered he was just too old to be young. His new book, Scattered Ghosts, traces his Hungarian-Jewish family’s survival through war, revolution and the Holocaust
Bart Moore-Gilbert is professor of post-colonial studies at Goldsmiths. His previous books include studies of Kipling and Kureishi. He describes his new book, The Setting Sun: A Memoir of Empire and Family Secrets, as ‘a sort of detective story. Ironically, given that my father was a policeman, he is the accused and I am the detective trying to piece together the facts.’
