Is an interest in writing a genetic thing? Does the ability to write get passed down in your DNA? That's what uncle and nephew Stuart and Richard Baillie set out to explore. Stuart's dad Peter (that's Richard's grandfather) was an author with ten novels and countless short stories published in the 1950s and Peter's sons and now one of his grandchildren have had aspirations to write the great British novel and follow in Peter's footsteps. But none of them ever have - can we get to the root of the problem? What's stopping them?
In this episode Stuart and Richard discuss J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye, talk about the creation if characters and reveal that one of the younger members of the family seems, at the age of six, to be getting bitten by the writing bug.
