While the world鈥檚 biggest free literary festival, the Jaipur Literature Festival continues, writer Sandip Roy discusses the state of Indian books. After extraordinary figures at last weekend鈥檚 opening of Clint Eastwood鈥檚 film American Sniper, actor and producer Bradley Cooper tells us it is not a war film - it鈥檚 a character study.

And, with the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations now taking place in Equatorial Guinea, we showcase some of the country鈥檚 best music. Also, music producer Mark Ronson (who also worked with Amy Winehouse) collaborates with American novelist Michael Chabon who writes the lyrics on a new album. We hear from both.

In the wake of the Paris terrorist attacks there has been much commentary about the taboo of representing Islam鈥檚 founder in art, and Dr Sussan Babaie considers the history of images of the Prophet Muhammad in the tradition of Islamic Art. And, we discover new writing in a postcard from Algeria sent to us from the celebrated novelist Boualem Sansal.

Finally, from the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka we meet rickshaw painter Mohammed Shahin Hossain, whose artwork decorates some of the city鈥檚 one million three-wheelers.
