Flirtation, boredom and monogamy are among the subjects Adam Phillips has turned his attention to in the past. In his latest book, Darwin's Worms, Phillips examines the concept of mortality in a culture indelibly marked by the works of Freud and Darwin. He discusses his findings with Richard Coles. Plus, a look at My Century, the latest book by the recent winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Gunter Grass ; a review of the San
Francisco Ballet at Sadler's Wells; and news of another winner as the results of the Booker Prize deliberations are announced.
