2011 Review
The Christmas podcast featuring:
As 2011 draws to a close, the SRB takes stock. The latest podcast features a round-table discussion of the year in books. How tough is it for writers in our age of austerity? In a year packed with major news stories, is non-fiction better suited to capturing its turbulent events than fiction? Is the rise of ebooks as unstoppable as reported? And what of the Booker Prize? Alan Taylor (SRB editor), Rosemary Goring (Herald and Sunday Herald literary editor), and Jan Rutherford (Publicity and Printed Word) discuss the big issues.
