Martin Amis, Pitcairn, The Moth, Obvious Child, Secret Life of Books
Tom Sutcliffe on Martin Amis's latest novel, Richard Bean's new play Pitcairn, The Moth storytelling event, abortion comedy Obvious Child and Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ TV's Secret Life of Books.
Martin Amis' latest novel The Zone of Interest deals with the Holocaust, but has riled some critics because of its light tone.
Pitcairn is Richard "One Man, Two Guv'nors" Bean's new play dealing with the aftermath of The Bounty.
The Moth is a public storytelling event that started in America and is now coming to the UK to coincide with a book collection of stories.
Obvious Child is a romcom film about abortion which has incurred the wrath of pro-lifers in the US; can it be a suitable topic for a humorous film?
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ TV's new series the Secret Life of Books examines original texts, manuscripts, letters and diaries to uncover the story behind the creation of six classic books.
Tom Sutcliffe is joined by Tiffany Murray, Inua Ellams and Michael Arditti. The producer is Oliver Jones.
