In conversation with John Mullan at Dickens 2012 in Berlin

Long conversation between Denise and John Mullan, Professor of English at University College London, filmed at the British Council's 'What would Dickens write today?' seminar in January 2012.

Imperfect quality but lots of content, on both Dickens and Denise’s own work; plus a reading from The End of the Wasp Season and an audience Q&A.
