Max Brooks, Ghosts and Tuesday Review
Max Brooks discusses new novel Devolution which has been been described as a Covid19 metaphor. Plus we take a critical look at this week's cultural highlights in Tuesday Review.
Janice talks to writer and actor Max Brooks (son of Mel Brooks and Ann Bancroft) whose most recent novel, Devolution, about a community surviving a volcanic explosion, as a Bigfoot stalks the village, has been described as a Covid-19 metaphor.
Cast members of Ghosts, Martha Howe Douglas and Ben Willbond chat about the spooky sitcom set in a very haunted house which is returning for a second series.
Writer Laura Waddell tells Janice about her new book Exit which is a series of meditations on the theme of exits, from Brexit to the history of emergency exit signs.
And in Tuesday Review, critics Laura Waddell, Andrew Meehan and Arusa Qureshi discuss Us; a new Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ TV adaptation of the David Nicholls novel; The Third Day, a miniseries starring Jude Law, Emily Watson and Paddy Considine, about a man drawn to a mysterious island off the British coast where he encounters a group of locals set on preserving their traditions at any cost and the new live album from Suzanne Vega; An Evening of New York Songs and Stories.
