Paul Klee, US Shutdown, Catherine Merridale, Man Booker Prize, National Theatre
Presented by Philip Dodd. With the winner of 2013's Man Booker, discussing the new National Theatre head, the US Government shutdown, a Paul Klee show and a book about the Kremlin.
Philip Dodd discusses the announcement of the winner of this year's Man Booker Prize with Sarah Churchwell, the final year before US writers will be included.
Susannah Clapp will be in the studio to discuss Rufus Norris, the director revealed today as the new Artistic Director of the National Theatre.
With the US Congress in deadlock over Obama's healthcare plan, the nation's Government has shut down. The Chinese government has reminded their American counterpart that they're obliged to pay their debts whether they're shut down or not and commentators in the rest of the world are looking on in bafflement. But in a country built on rebellion, with a deep-seated suspicion of central government, what does the shutdown tell us about the American political psyche? Philip is joined by the Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland and historian of US politics Prof Philip Davis to discuss.
Paul Klee is the subject of a major new exhibition at Tate Modern which sets out to challenge his reputation for being a solitary dreamer and to reveal the rigour with which he created his work and presented it to the public. The show spans thirty years of his career from his emergence in Munich in the 1910s, through his years of teaching at the Bauhaus in the 1920s and up to his final paintings made in Bern after the outbreak of World War II. James Malpas and Karen Leeder review.
And Philip takes a trip into the heart and history of the Kremlin and asks the historian Catherine Merridale about its secrets. Her new book Red Fortress examines the story of one of the most mysterious and emblematic buildings in Russian history - the Kremlin. Part citadel, part holy shrine, the Kremlin has been Russia's heart for centuries, a metaphor for the eternal state.
