Howard Jacobson, award winning novelist, well-known broadcaster and provocateur, talks dogs, darts, face-lifts, Brexit, passwords, the social media, death, diets, democracy (or the death of it), comedy, sex, satire and Donald Trump among other passions and exasperations. Howard is in the rare position of having two books published almost simultaneously - The Dog's Last Walk, a collection of his last columns for the Independent newspaper, for which he wrote for almost 20 years, and Pussy, a ferocious fairy tale about a humourless, thin-skinned, sex-crazed, pugnacious, and all but wordless property Prince, who aspires to be leader of the free world when he grows up, that's if he ever will grow up. Set nowhere in particular, Pussy brings together characters not only from the post-truth of American politics, but also from our own recent descent into jingoistic hell.
