At a Guardian Live event in Manchester, the multi-award winning crime writer, Ian Rankin, discussed his sabbatical from writing and bringing much loved detective John Rebus out of retirement for his 20th novel, Even Dogs in the Wild
Even Dogs in the Wild is said to explore the darkest corners of our instincts and desires. In an intimate conversation with the Guardian’s Mark Lawson, Scottish author Ian Rankin reveals why, after the death of two close friends including fellow novelist Iain Banks, he took a year-long sabbatical from writing before penning another installment of the best-selling Rebus series.
Rankin’s books have been translated into 36 languages, and he’s the recipient of four Dagger awards for crime fiction, an OBE for services to literature, and was recently made a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
