Novelist Jonathan Coe is the author of the award-winning biography, "Like A Fiery Elephant: The Story of B.S. Johnson." Coe tells Anne Strainchamps about the careeer of experimental novelist B.S. Johnson who tried to reinvent the novel with every book he wrote. Johnson's innovations included a book with holes cut through the pages and a novel published in a box so that its unbound chapters could be read in any order.
