Ian McMillan hosts the showcase of new writing, language and performance.

This week Geoff Dyer plays with the language of banality in a spoof biography of Jackson Pollock written for the programme. And there's a new short story by Edward Upward, who has just celebrated his 100th birthday and is the last survivor of a remarkable generation of British writers that included WH Auden and Christopher Isherwood.
