Do you have to be mad to open your own bookshop in Spain in this day and age? Well, Terry Craven from Madrid's Desperate Literature bookshop assures me that if you're not brave then you must be stupid! I spend a morning surrounded by books while Terry talks through some lesser-known Spanish literature that helps get under the skin of Spain and Spanish society. He recounts how he came to set up an international bookshop in the heart of the Spanish capital. Along the way I find out about Desperate Literature's events and literary prize as well as the ins and outs of being an international bookseller.
