17. Buffering - Tom McCarthy

Tom McCarthy is a novelist whose work has been translated into more than 20 languages and adapted for cinema, theatre and radio. His first novel, Remainder, won the 2008 Believer Book Award. His third, C, was a 2010 Man Booker Prize finalist, as was his fourth, Satin Island, in 2015.

Tom is also the author of the study Tintin and the Secret of Literature and of the essay collection Typewriters Bombs Jellyfish. He contributes regularly to publications such as the New York Times, the London Review of Books, Harper's and Art Forum. In 2013, he was awarded the inaugural Windham Campbell Prize for fiction. His latest novel, The Making of Incarnation was published in 2021.

Since 1999, Tom has been the general secretary of a semi fictitious organisation that he co-founded with the philosopher Simon Critchley called the International Necronautical Society, INS, which is, "devoted to mind bending projects that would do for death what the surrealists had done for sex".

The Cluster F Theory Podcast
To many of us the world, our very planet, appears to be coming apart. How can we put it back together again (and should we)? What do we salvage and what do we throw away? What goes where and why?
Each episode we speak to a philosopher, critical theorist, scientist, artist, writer or thinker about their take on the absolute 'cluster f' that’s happening around us. We don't promise to make you happier, more mindful or fitter, but you will spend some time thinking about something other than yourself.
