Books Abroad

on BBC Radio 3

Novelist Colm Toibin opens a window on the world through books. Writing from other countries takes us to the heart of other cultures and shows the forces which shape other people's lives. This evening's programme explores generation gaps in Latin America, where young writers are killing their fathers; in Egypt, where the new writing can no longer explain reality; in Israel, where for the first time women are the leading lights in literature; and in Galicia, where the past is always present.
