Together with the critic Brian Dillon and the novelists Rachel Cusk, Helen Oyeyemi and Tash Aw – two of whom live in Paris, the other in Prague – she chose the final 20 from a shortlist pre-selected, she says, by six Granta staff who sifted “several hundred” submissions.

Beattie found that women and men interrupted with more or less equal frequency (men 34.1, women 33.8) - so men did interrupt more, but by a margin so slight as not to be statistically significant.
