Presented by Russell Davies
Autobiography: The remarkable career of Anthony Burgess - novelist, poet, screenwriter and critic - began in 1960, when doctors told him he had a year to live. In those months, he wrote no fewer than five novels, including A Clockwork Orange, and went on to write, edit or translate more than 50 further volumes. Burgess now claims to be at work on the final chapter of his career: his autobiography. The first volume, Little Wilson and Big God, is published this week on his 70th birthday. Russell Davies visits Anthony Burgess in Venice.
Art: Is David Bomberg the great discovery of the British Art exhibition at the Royal Academy? Richard Cork puts the case for this long-neglected painter.
