Duncan Campbell and Mark Hodkinson
Two writers, who between them cover crime, football and music, talk about their favourite books, on subjects including a disintegrating marriage and the ethics of journalism.
Writers Duncan Campbell and Mark Hodkinson discuss their favourite books with Harriett Gilbert. Duncan chooses the Journalist and the Murderer by Janet Malcolm, a book on the ethics of journalism with a very provocative opening sentence. Mark has gone for Contempt, Italian novelist Alberto Moravia's portrait of a disintegrating marriage. Harriett stays in Italy and introduces The Beautiful Summer by C茅sar Pavese, a coming-of-age novel set in the 1930s.
