Writer and publisher Diana Athill has turned 100 today. In publishing for half a century, she edited great writers from Norman Mailer and Jack Kerouac to Philip Roth and Molly Keane. And then, in retirement, her own writing took off and she became immensely popular - especially when dealing with the question of old age. She talked to Jim Naughtie about the thought of dying.
