Graeme Macrae Burnet’s Benbecula, part of Polygon’s acclaimed Darkland Tales series, explores a forgotten, real-life triple murder in the remote Hebrides, in characteristicly immersive, unsettling prose. As his narrator’s mind slowly fractures, Burnet asks: how do tragedy and isolation distort memory and selfhood? The Booker-shortlisted author of His Bloody Project chats crime and punishment, unreliable minds, and his pull to the territory where history, fiction, and psychological darkness collide. Chaired by James Crawford.
