St Vincent, Andrew Michael Hurley, The Tin Drum, Daljit Nagra
St Vincent discusses her new album Masseduction; poet Daljit Nagra on poetry in TV and radio adverts; novelist Andrew Michael Hurley; and Gunter Grass's The Tin Drum on stage.
The American singer St. Vincent, aka Annie Clark, discusses her new album Masseduction.
Andrew Michael Hurley's debut novel The Loney was a runaway success, winning the 2015 Costa Book Award in the First Novel category. The author discusses his follow-up, Devil's Day, which like The Loney is a gothic horror story set in Lancashire.
The Tin Drum by Nobel Laureate G眉nter Grass centres on Oskar, who refuses to grow from the age of 3 and has a voice that can shatter glass. The Cornwall-based theatre company Kneehigh have adapted the story for the stage and is currently touring the UK. Writer and broadcaster Paul Allen reviews.
Poet Daljit Nagra considers the current fashion for TV and radio adverts to feature poetry.
