Irish novelist Paul Murray discusses the buzziest word-of-mouth hit of the past year, The Bee Sting. 
   
Murray's dazzling tragicomedy charts the undoing of a once-prosperous Irish family haunted by the ghosts of the past through the perspective of multiple characters and has been hailed as ‘a 650-page soap opera with a clockwork plot whose delicate mechanism you can’t hear tick’ (Guardian).  
 
In conversation with Michael Williams, Murray introduces his wise, witty and heart-punching saga to Australia.
