The highly popular “Dr. Sue” (Dr. Susan O’Doherty, the writer’s therapist) is our special guest for the year’s penultimate LITOPIA AFTER DARK – next week’s show is our Xmas Party, so expect lots of fun, but not necessarily much common sense – for that, you’ll have to make tonight’s show last until the new year! With veteran panelists Donna Ballman, Dave Bartram and Eve Harvey it’s a cracking end to a great year for us – and, we hope, for you too!
Topics covered on tonight’s show include:
- Banning language – a very British solution
- Gavin Turk’s ‘Revolting Brick’ is nicked – how could they tell?
- Reading is all about a willing surrender of self to the narrative
- Man eats plant, plant eats man – worst book of the decade?
- P.G. Wodehouse disappointed fans who met him in person – so are writers really all introverts?
- Borders UK is gone – who’s next?
