To celebrate a hundred years of this literary masterpiece, five devoted readers share their thoughts on reading a novel that has a reputation for being challenging, while maintaining a cult-like following as one of the defining books of modernism.&nbsp;​Xiaolu Guo is a writer, Adam Biles is Literary Director at Shakespeare and Company in Paris and John Mitchinson is publisher at Unbound. They talk to writer and journalist Sinéad Gleeson.</p><p><br></p><h4>IN PARTNERSHIP WITH&nbsp;SHAKESPEARE AND COMPANY&nbsp;AND SUPPORTED BY THE&nbsp;EMBASSY OF IRELAND, LONDON&nbsp;AND THE&nbsp;CONSULATE GENERAL OF IRELAND, CARDIFF</h4><p><br></p><p>*</p><p><br></p><p>Looking for our author interview podcast?
