A literary look at the one hundred books that inspired the rock great, David Bowie.

Also in the programme:  Polls have just opened in Spain for what will be the country's fourth election in just four years.

And dozens of forest fires are burning uncontrolled across eastern Australia. The blazes, which are expected to worsen, have already claimed at least three lives.

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Erica Wagner, a British-American writer, journalist and literary critic; and John Kampfner, British broadcaster, journalist and author.
