Episode 6: New life into old genres

Duration: 28 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio Wales MWLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio Wales FM

In the last of the current series, Phil Rickman presents three very different novels, each attempting to breathe new life into old genres. Welsh-based author Belinda Bauer has a new twist on the serial killer story, while Yorkshire writer Alison Littlewood offers a mysterious fairy story in a Victorian setting. Finally, Cardiff author Bill James revisits the territory of the campus novel with a story that bears more than a passing resemblance to events at a real university in South Wales. Show less
