Synopsis

A stellar host of writers explore the cornerstone of fiction writing: character "The Book of Other People" is about character. Twenty-five or so outstanding writers have been asked by Zadie Smith to make up a fictional character.

The writers featured in "The Book of Other People" include: Aleksandar Hemon Nick Hornby Hari Kunzru Toby Litt David Mitchell George Saunders Colm Tibn Chris Ware, and more
