Mathew de Abaitua on his new book Self and I about being Will Self's personal assistant.

Gerry Hassan, Kirsty Logan and Paul Whitelaw give their verdict on small screen offerings this week with The City and the City, Kiss Me First and Threads on today's Tuesday Review.

MATTHEW DE ABAITUA on his new book SELF & I about his time spent as novelist Will Self's live-in personal assistant with duties ranging from laundry, household chores to roughing up literary critics for unfavourable reviews!

PAULINE MOORE takes a trip to New Lanark to see the ARTIST TEXTILES exhibition which includes over 200 rare, vintage pieces of 20th century art in textiles and vintage fashion garments including prints of work by Salvador Dalí, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol.

LISA HALLIDAY discusses her debut novel ASYMMETRY which is partly based on her relationship with novelist Philip Roth who was forty years her senior at the time.

Curator KEVIN BROWN talks about his new Alasdair Gray exhibition at the Open Eye Gallery in Edinburgh which includes works from the acclaimed Scottish artist from 1962 to the present day.

And our Tuesday Review critics Gerry Hassan, Kirsty Logan and Paul Whitelaw give their thoughts on CH4's KISS ME FIRST, BBC Two's THE CITY & THE CITY and 1984 film THREADS about the horrifying effects of nuclear war which has been remastered for DVD.
