BBC Radio 4 - Start the Week, 'Home' and cultural identity with Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, David Goodhart, Indhu Rubasingham and Michael Symmons Roberts.

Stephanie Flanders with Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Indhu Rubasingham, David Goodhart and Michael Symmons Roberts.

On Start the Week Stephanie Flanders talks to the award-winning novelist, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, about the notion of 'home' in today's globalised world. It's a theme taken up on stage in 'Paper Dolls' directed by Indhu Rubasingham, which follows a Filipino drag act working in Tel Aviv. David Goodhart explores the British Dream and the successes and failures of post war immigration. And from the movement of people, to the trade in powders, salts, paints and cures, the poet Michael Symmons Roberts's latest collection is called Drysalter.
Producer: Katy Hickman.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
