Scottish novelist and poet Jenni Fagan tells presenter James Crawford about her new novel, The Delusions, in which she takes readers to the afterlife - or, at least, to its entry portal. It is a place where the newly dead are required to queue up and account for the truth of their lives - and extract all their delusions - if they are to have any chance of passing into eternity.
Jenni鈥檚 three chosen influences are Nina Cassian鈥檚 poem Temptation (1966), Mary Shelley鈥檚 Frankenstein (1818), and Jeanette Winterson鈥檚 Weight (2005).
