Monitor

on BBC Television

A fortnightly magazine of the arts.

Tonight's edition includes:
In Cork
Frank O'Connor, novelist, essayist, and short-story writer, revisits the provincial city where he lived for twenty-eight years and which provides the setting for many of his stories.
'I think all great literature begins in the provinces. If I hadn't left Cork, I'm quite certain I wouldn't have been the writer I am; but I think that if I hadn't been brought up in a city like this, I wouldn't have been a writer at all...'

Introduced and edited by Huw Wheldon.
