Toni Morrison, Ah Wilderness!, Indigenous Australians, A Pigeon Sat on a Branch, Storyville: Himmler

BBC Radio 4 - Saturday Review, Toni Morrison, Ah Wilderness!, Indigenous Australians, A Pigeon Sat on a Branch, Storyville: Himmler

Toni Morrison's novel God Help the Child and Eugene O'Neill's 1933 play Ah Wilderness!

Toni Morrison's novel God Help the Child, Eugene O'Neill's 1933 play Ah Wilderness!, the British Museum exhibition on Indigenous Australians and the film A Pigeon Sat on a Branch.

Toni Morrison's new novel, God Help The Child explores issues including skin colour prejudice, child abuse and justice.
Eugene O'Neill's 1933 play Ah Wilderness! is one of his less-performed works. He described it as a folk comedy, is it still funny today? 
The British Museum exhibition, Indigenous Australians: Enduring Civilisation, looks at 60 millennia of Aboriginal life and art
A Pigeon Sat On A Branch Reflecting On Existence is the peculiar Lion d'Or winning film from Sweden - is it funny? unnerving? odd? magnificent?
BBC 4's Storyville series - bringing the best foreign documentaries to a British TV audience - has been going for 10 years. We review the latest: "Himmler, The Decent One", which looks at the life of Hitler's deputy through his private correspondence.

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