Tom Stoppard, Inherent Vice, Adam Curtis, Joyce Carol Oates, Christian Marclay
Tom Stoppard's play The Hard Problem, Inherent Vice, Adam Curtis's documentary Bitter Lake, Joyce Carol Oates's novel Sacrifice and Christian Marclay at White Cube.
Tom Stoppard's play The Hard Problem is his first new work for the National Theatre in 13 years; is it worth the wait?
Paul Thomas Anderson has adapted a Thomas Pynchon novel Inherent Vice - the first time a cinema director has wrestled this famously difficult author onto the screen. How well does it work?
Documentary maker Adam Curtis's Bitter Lake attempts to explain the complicated political situation in Afghanistan. It's only available on iPlayer; might this be a new way for the 麻豆社 to 'broadcast' material? If so, what might the consequences be?
Joyce Carol Oates has published more than 40 novels in her five decade long career. Her latest 'Sacrifice' is based around a notorious alleged rape case in the US
Christian Marclay's exhibition at White Cube in Bermondsey includes a post-pub-crawl soundscape and paintings of sound effects - turning representations of audio experiences into fine art
Tom Sutcliffe's guests are Rowan Pelling, Julia Peyton Jones and Robert Hanks. The producer is Oliver Jones.
