BBC Radio 4 - Imagining the New Truth, Daniel Kehlmann

Leading artists on how they process this turbulent era through their work: Daniel Kehlmann

How do artists chronicle, process, design and describe our fast changing world? Daniel Kehlmann discusses the political currents reshaping the US, Germany and Austria.

The highly-acclaimed novelist and playwright Daniel Kehlmann has spent the last year in the US and his native Germany, where the fast-changing currents of political and social change have inspired and shaped his writing. The fall-out from mass migration, the appeal of the far-right and the fear of terrorist attack all fuel his imagination and are reflected in his latest work. Kehlmann talks to us on a winter's day in New York about truth, paranoia and his response to a world in flux.

Producer: Julia Johnson.

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