Rachel Cockerell (Melting Point) and Joe Dunthorne (Children of Radium) have written two of the most surprising and inventive family memoirs in memory, through resourcing and reference, eyewitness testimony, and following their noses. Both found non-traditional paths to telling their stories (Cockerell by cutting out her own words, and Dunthorne by reading a 2,000-page memoir by his grandfather). Hear them chat to Rodge Glass about their innovative accounts and methods of uncovering.
