Five Letters from an Eastern Empire

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

by ALASDAIR GRAY
4: Bohu is persuaded to delay his official suicide for a week, to taste the delights of ordinary life. He ends by composing an anti-epic, bitterly attacking the emperor. The poem is passed to the hands of a top civil servant, who realises that the poem can be subverted to suit the emperor's purpose admirably. Read by Martin Jarvis and Dinsdale Landen
