A new book of essays by Israeli novelist Amos Oz explores how some of the world's greatest writers have grabbed their readers. Isabel Hilton talks to him about the writer's craft and about the role of the writer amid
Israel's cultural and political conflicts. And, as the radical Italian director
Romeo Castelluci brings his explosive Giulio Cesare to the South Bank, a report from the opening of the London International Festival of Theatre.
