In Pat Barker 's new novel, The Man Who Wasn't There, 12-year-old Colin's favourite hero is his father - of whom he knows little, except that he was killed in the war. He becomes the star of a film running in Colin's imagination, interrupted occasionally by the realities of school and home. Pat Barker , whose award-winning first novel Union Street is to be shown as a film later this year, talks to Nigel Forde.
And Simon Raven reveals corruption in the fifth volume of his series The First Born of Egypt - Blood of My Bone. Producer SALLY MARMION
