The Arts Hour speaks to a range of authors in a city synonymous with learning

The Arts Hour speaks to a range of authors in a city synonymous with learning.

Bidisha Mamata takes The Arts Hour to The Oxford Literary Festival, speaking to a range of authors in a city which is synonymous with learning.

Mick Herron talks about his novel Bad Actors - the latest in the successful Slow Horses series,

Rebecca Kuang about her compelling and cringe-inducing new satire about the publishing industry, Yellowface, which deals candidly with ambition, jealousy, social media and who gets to tell which stories.  
 
And Bidisha is joined onstage by actor-and-author Paterson Joseph, the lawyer-turned-memoirist Leta McCullough Seletzky and artist-and-writer Samson Kambalu. The three writers discuss their biographies, which approach family storytelling from very different angles and discuss what binds their stories together across the centuries and around the globe.
