Two Small Scandals

BBC Radio 4 - A Point of View, Two Small Scandals

Adam Gopnik poses the question: Do you have a right to make my life into your art?

Adam Gopnik tells two stories of minds and morals presently causing a feeding frenzy in the US.

"Who owns a story?" asks Adam Gopnik. "The storyteller? The subject? Or do all stories in some sense own themselves?" 

Adam explores the drama being played out in the US in two stories of feuding writers, caught up in the ethics of artistic appropriation.  

Producer: Adele Armstrong

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