Jean-Baptiste Andrea, Orlando King, Authors and Critics
Mariella Frostrup speaks to French novelist Jean-Baptiste Andrea about his novel One Hundred Million Years and a Day, and Melissa Harrison discusses Orlando King.
Mariella Frostrup talks to French novelist Jean-Baptiste Andrea about his book One Hundred Million Years and a Day. Set in 1954, a palaeontologist embarks on the adventure of his lifetime, exorcising demons from his past by following a lead suggesting that a remarkable dinosaur fossil lies buried under a French glacier.
Melissa Harrison talks to Mariella about the trilogy of novels written by Isabel Colegate, Orlando King, which stylishly document huge social change in the mid-20th century and have interesting parallels with today.
And John Self explores the often less than harmonious relationship between authors and their critics.
