Fates

Her novel “Fates and Furies,” the story of a long marriage as told from the perspectives of both spouses, was a breakout bestseller and Barack Obama’s favorite book of 2015, and she remained on his favorites list with her latest, 2023’s “The Vaster Wilds.”

The teams went toe-to-toe all game, so much so they battled into an extra five minutes of overtime to determine their fates, the outcome finally decided by James Harden’s clutch play and two blown opportunities by the Warriors that allowed the Clippers to escape with a 124-119 win at Chase Center.

For the second season of my BBC Radio 4 podcast The Banksy Story, which is called When Banksy Comes To Town, I've been following the very different fates of two sets of homeowners who wake up one day to find a Banksy on their wall.

Fans, of course, will always be curious about the fates of the characters they’ve spent so much time with.
