Across a remarkably varied body of work from the beloved No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series to his philosophically interrogative Isabel Dalhousie, Alexander McCall Smith returns, time and again, to the small moral choices that shape lives and communities. In conversation with William Dalrymple, McCall Smith discusses his upcoming works and ever-expanding literary world, where humour and empathy accompany questions of how we live, choose, and care for one another.
