Man Booker Prize winner Marlon James on the voice of reggae

Marlon James, author of "A Brief History of Seven Killings," is the first Jamaican writer to win the Man Booker Prize. James sat down with Jeffrey Brown at the Miami Book Fair to discuss his story, set in the 1970s and '80s, of an attempted assassination of Bob Marley, and how reggae music influenced his writing.
