Page One - The Writer's Podcast Ep. 218 - David Hewson on historical v contemporary fiction
David Hewson’s novels have been translated worldwide, from Italian to Japanese, with his debut, Semana Santa, filmed with Mira Sorvino. His work spans Italy, Spain, Denmark, and Amsterdam, including the Nic Costa series in Rome, the Pieter Vos books in Amsterdam, and his adaptations of The Killing in Copenhagen. A former journalist for The Times and The Sunday Times, he turned to fiction full-time in 2005. His latest book, When the Germans Come, is out now.
We had a great chat with David, hearing how he began his career in journalism before moving into the world of fiction. We talk about all the different types of novels he has written, from historical to contemporary crime, as well his adaptations of series such as The Killing. We also chat about how he approaches writing his historical fiction, and why enjoys writing for audio as well.
