This week, Cassie McCullagh and Jonathan Green take a look at Thomas Pynchon’s Shadow Ticket - a cryptic plunge into paranoia and power, where nothing is quite what it seems. Plus, Olivia Laing’s The Silver Book, a shimmering meditation on the cinema scene in 1970s Italy, and Jeanette Winterson’s One Aladdin Two Lamps, which re-imagines duality and the stories we tell ourselves.BOOKS<ul><li>Shadow Ticket by Thomas Pynchon (Jonathan Cape) </li><li>The Silver Book by Olivia Laing (Hamish Hamilton) </li><li>One Aladdin Two Lamps by Jeanette Winterson (Penguin Random House)</li></ul>GUESTS<ul><li>Huw Griffiths — Associate Professor and Deputy Head of School in English and Writing at the University of Sydney</li><li>Claire Mabey — Founder of New Zealand’s literary festival Verb Wellington, books editor at The Spinoff, and author of the award-winning middle-grade novel The Raven's Eye Runaways.
