³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

Michael Berkeley talks to novelist Mark Haddon, whose best-selling book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time won many major literary awards. He has since published A Spot of Bother and is currently writing a stage play. His musical tastes are wide-ranging, and he talks eloquently about each of his choices, from Britten's setting of the folk song Tom Bowling and a Mozart piano sonata to music by Steve Reich, Elliott Carter and Sonic Youth.
