New BBC Radio 4 series presented by Damian Barr
I’m really looking forward to hosting my own series for Radio 4. It’s called Guide Books. The producer is Mair Bosworth and she’s doing great work bringing this idea to life.
Guide Books is a new series about how books might help us navigate everyday life. Each episode takes a life experience - such as grief - and talks to writers about they handle it through their own reading, writing and lived experience. We explore the fiction, non-fiction, memoir and poetry that might help us better understand our own stories.
The first episode will be aired on BBC Radio 4, Tuesday 15th June at 11.30am. I’ll be joined by Sarah Perry and Sinead Gleeson to talk about fiction, poetry and memoir that might help us better understand our relationship with our bodies.
