BBC Radio 3 has a series called The Essay, which consists of brief essays read by their authors.
Two weeks ago, they had a series of five essays by Julian Barnes, discussing how he has changed his mind over the years. He looks at memory, words, politics, books, and time.
These are fascinating texts, delicately read by Barnes, who, if you’ve read his work, is a master of subtlety. All five of these essays address interesting questions, and are well worth listening to.
The Essay is a wonderful podcast series with so much more by a lot of other authors to be discovered and enjoyed. Thanks for the recommendation. (I didn’t know this one, although I listen to BBC’s A Point of View and Four Thought.)
