BBC Radio Scotland - The Janice Forsyth Show, Jonathan Coe, Red Thorn, and live music from songwriter Danni Nicholls

Janice Forsyth with novelist Jonathan Coe and live music from songwriter Danni Nicholls.

Janice Forsyth talks to Jonathan Coe about his new novel, and hears about Red Thorn, a brand new comic series set in Glasgow.

Janice talks to writer Jonathan Coe about his new satirical novel Number 11 - a follow-up of sorts to his 1994 farce What A Carve Up!

Songwriter Danni Nicholls plays live in studio.

BBC Scotland's own Theresa Talbot has written a book, Penance, a crime novel inspired by stories of Glasgow's Magdalene Institution.

And Janice hears about Red Thorn, a brand new comic book series from Vertigo/DC Comics, featuring a girl whose drawings come to life, and a demi-god hero. And it's set in Glasgow. Writer David Baillie explains why he wanted to bring Scotland to an international audience. 

Plus the Tuesday Review: novelist Lucy Ribchester, critic Pasquale Iannone, and singer Dean Owens give their thoughts on the new EP from Natalie Prass, acrobatics show Circa: Beyond, and a radio documentary which explores the impact JFK's death had on American music.
