Paul Pickering says the fact that we humans can break any tyranny is beautiful
A journalist reporting from conflict zones for The Times London, Paul Pickering turned novelist to tell the story of Josef Mengele, the ‘Angel of Death’ at Auschwitz, whom he met in Paraguay. Pickering is often likened to Graham Greene, as much for his fiction as for the life he has led. Lucy, his eighth novel, is being released later in July by Salt in the UK.
In an exclusive interview with writer Bhaskar Roy, Pickering talks about Lucy and its uncanny insights into the Gaza genocide.
