ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½

Available for over a year

A voyage around Greek writing both ancient and modern. Kamila Shamsie talks to Mariella Frostrup about her new novel ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Fire, a pertinent and timely story of the two families torn apart by love and war, inspired by Sophocles's Antigone. It's one of a clutch of novels this summer spawned from Greek tragedies. Classicist Dr Nick Lowe discusses recent books by Colm Toibin, David Vann and Natalie Haynes and why the plays remain inspiring for novelists, while writer and translator Joshua Barley recommends more modern Greek writing.
