on BBC Radio 4 FM

Author John McGahem , whose novel Amongst
Women was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, talks to Nigel Forde about his
Collected Stories (four of which were broadcast on Radio 3 this week, starting on Tuesday at 9.05pm).
Nigel Forde also discovers a forgotten science fiction classic which is about to be re-published. Editor
Nick Austin explains how he tracked down The Death Guard, first published in 1939, which describes an apocalyptic vision of war and was rumoured to have been withdrawn by the British Government. And a selection of the autumn's paperback reading.
