Mike Brearley and Julie Welch
4 Extra Debut. Mike Brearley, Julie Welch and Sue MacGregor on books by Graham Greene, Elizabeth Taylor and Heinrich Harrer. From 2010.
Sue MacGregor is joined by the former England cricket captain Mike Brearley, now a psychoanalyst, and sports writer, Julie Welch, to discuss their chosen paperbacks.
There's a sporting tie that links this week's guests on A Good Read. Mike Brearley captained the England cricket team in the early 1980s, later retraining as a psychoanalyst. He discusses a Graham Greene novel set in the Congo, while sports writer Julie Welch chooses a book by the other Elizabeth Taylor - the novelist, not the film star.
