J. B. Priestley reads three nightly extracts from his new book subtitled Reflections and Speculations on Life, Death and Time
1: The Society that Dislikes Itself
Before coming to his ideas of what we might find in the next world, and how we might find it, Mr Priestley makes an indictment of what is wrong with our lives and values in this one now. We have lost touch with the past. We belittle the feminine principle. We overrate physical sex. But, even if we are on the wrong planet, we can try to make the best of it.
