ERIC LINKLATER
Eric Linklater , the well-known Scottish novelist, has returned from a five-months' journey which took him round the world. He travelled in India, Assam, and China and, returning home by the Pacific route, he lost all his baggage in the disastrous American floods. In this series of four talks he will give listeners a summary of his observations during his journey and in particular of encounters with fellowcountrymen in strange places. He notices, for instance, that the country of Assam appears to be entirely governed by Aberdonians and that Chicago has grown quiet and respectable since he last visited it in 1930.
