Free Thinking

Tuesday 13 November 2007 23:00-23:15 (Radio 3)

A series of essays in which writers reflect on freedom.

Duration:

15 minutes

Playlist:

2/4. Ben Markovits considers the freedom of the immigrant in Britain.

Half German, half American, part Christian, part Jewish, Ben has never felt fully rooted in a single culture or completely implicated in the society around him. To many, this might sound like the crisis of modern immigration, but for Ben the writer, there is freedom in being rootless in a new place.
