The Writer in the Witness-Box: 4: What is good and bad in writing?

on BBC Home Service Basic

View in Radio Times

A discussion on style between Desmond MacCarthy and Desmond Hawkins.
As a follow-up to this discussion of the most controversial of all literary topics, Desmond MacCarthy is to illustrate his point of view in a reading tonight at 10.20.
This is a case where an ounce of practice may be worth a peck of precept, so listeners to the discussion should make a point of hearing the reading too, if they can.
