Available for over a year

In this edition of Night Waves, Samira Ahmed visits the British Museum to see its new show about Ice Age art. Some of the world's oldest known sculptures, drawings and portraits are on display and it's been suggested that they offer a guide to the development of the modern mind. Samira is also joined by Nadeem Aslam - a Pakistani writer whose latest book, The Blind Man's Garden, offers a perspective on the last ten years of world history that questions many of our political and social assumptions. Amanda Hopkinson reviews Pablo Larraín's latest film, No, about the extraordinary television campaign that lead to the downfall of the Chilean dictator, Pinochet. And the novelist Rosie Thomas and biographer Matthew Dennison reflect on Rumer Godden, the author of Black Narcissus, whose work is about to be re-issued by Virago. Producer: Zahid Warley.
