The Colour of Bee Larkham’s Murder – The Podcast

The Colour of Bee Larkham’s Murder Podcast – Synaesthesia and Face Blindness in The Colour of Bee Larkham’s Murder. Imagine not being able to recognise your best friend’s face. Or your own face. Imagine that every time you said your girlfriend’s name it tasted of pears. Or of pine needles. Or worse: of dishwater. Author Sarah J. Harris became fascinated by synaesthesia and face blindness (also known as prosopagnosia) after writing an article on the subject in her day job as a journalist, later going on to write about both conditions in her debut adult novel, The Colour of Bee Larkham’s Murder, in which her protagonist is the only witness to a murder – but can’t recognise the murderer’s face. In this three-episode podcast, Sarah speaks to experts and the people who experience each condition to find out more about them and what this means in their everyday lives, from the challenges of dating with face blindness to experiencing the world in a kaleidoscope of colours and flavours that only they can see and taste.
