Cornwall and Coastal Gothic
Mark Jenkin, Wyl Menmuir and Joan Passey discuss a film about fishermen squaring up against incomers, a Booker longlisted novel set in a deserted house, and Cornish gothic.
Bait depicted Cornish second-home owners in a tense relationship with local fishermen. The 2019 film's director Mark Jenkin is one of Laurence Scott's guests along with author Wyl Menmuir, and Joan Passey, from the University of Bristol, where she is researching ideas about the sea as a monstrous space. Their conversation ranges from The Jewel of the Seven Stars by Bram Stoker via Wyl's novel The Many, centred on a derelict home in a coastal village and ideas about outsiders, to Celtic Cornish Breton connections.
