The Victorian Chaise-longue (1953) is a terrifying short novel by the writer, broadcaster and lexicographer, Marghanita Laski. Joining Andy and John is the novelist Eley Williams, author of the awarding winning Attrib. and Other Stories and this year’s wonderful novel of mendacious lexicography, The Liar’s Dictionary.  (Please note that all three Marghanita Laski titles mentioned on the epsidode are currently available directly from Persephone Books).
