With Ian McMillan looking at two new teenage fictional heroes, a performance by American singer Alela Diane, comic verse from Luke Wright and writer Peter Zilahy's autobiography.
Ian McMillan's programme about language looks at two new teenage fictional heroes, from new books by Joe Dunthorne and Ross Raisin – themselves just of their teens and already being hailed as the future of British fiction.
With a performance by American singer Alela Diane, whose CD The Pirate's Gospel was a critical success last year, as well as comic verse from Luke Wright.
And Hungarian writer Peter Zilahy reads from his autobiography, partly a report from the streets of the former Yugoslavia in the turbulent 1980s and 90s.
