Graham Norton: TV Host and Comedian on the new season of his talk show and his new book 'Frankie'
Manage episode 439401008 series 2098285
Graham Norton has been rather busy lately.
When he’s not hosting his number one show, a new season of which will be airing shortly, he’s continuing his budding career as an author.
His latest novel is called ‘Frankie’, a decades-sweeping story about love, bravery, and what it means to live a significant life.
This novel required some research to ensure the accuracy of the world, which Norton wasn’t entirely sure he’d enjoy.
“Would it be a bit like homework? And turns out, I did enjoy it,” he told Mike Hosking.
“I think the key part was that I was writing about worlds that I was interested in.”
“To do kind of the deep dive reading, I found it all fascinating.”
Since the two last talked, Norton had quit working in radio, something he’d done for 13 years, focusing more on his writing.
“To have my weekends back, I’m just seeing it as the evolution of Graham Norton not doing anything at the weekend,” he told Hosking.
“Maybe there’s a bit of, I’m taking the books more seriously. I think I’m getting better.”
‘Frankie’ is Norton’s fifth novel, and the one he enjoyed writing the most, he revealed. The novel also seems to be landing with readers in a different way.
“Some seem more enthused about this book than they have others.”
“We’ll see what happens.”
