Marina Lewycka, A Posthumous Book by Ernest Hemingway, and the Work of Franz Kafka
Mariella Frostrup meets Marina Lewycka, the author of A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian, who discusses her third novel We Are All Made of Glue.
Mariella Frostrup talks to Marina Lewycka, whose spectacular debut at the age of 58 was the bestselling A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian. She explains why she's turned her attention from tractors to adhesives (as well as old age, relationships and the Arab-Israeli question) in her new novel We Are All Made of Glue.
There's news from Andrew Purcell in New York of a surprise posthumous book by Ernest Hemingway - his Paris memoirs have been published in a new version by the author's grandson.
And Lawrence Norfolk joins Mariella to give a novelist's-eye view of the strange and wonderful work of Franz Kafka, three of whose best-known books have been reissued in new translations.
