A Good Read - Russell Kane & Sarah Perry

Comedian Russell Kane and Sarah Perry, author of The Essex Serpent, talk about their favourite books with Harriett Gilbert. They are: Under the Net by Iris Murdoch, The Train Was On Time by Heinrich Boll, translated by Leila Vennewitz, and Life Among the Savages by Shirley Jackson, her slightly fictionalised memoir. It turns out that Russell and Sarah are Iris Murdoch worshippers, but Harriett is not as sure...
