Sarah Hall and Peter Hobbs on their new collection of short stories Sex and Death.

News and features from the world of books, presented by Mariella Frostrup.

Writers Sarah Hall and Peter Hobbs join Mariella to discuss their new anthology of short stories about the fundamentals of life: Sex and Death. As his novel Nightmare in Berlin is published in English for the first time, we discuss the life and work of German novelist Hans Fallada; graphic novelist Riad Sattouf talks about his memoir of his schooldays in Syria and crime writer Mark Billingham reveals the book he'd never lend, and how it has influenced his own work.

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