The Essay

Available for over a year

"It sounds such a simple business.. 'I changed my mind.' Subject, verb, object - a clear, clean action..." In five essays, the acclaimed author asks whether his point of view has changed over the years. Referring to historical characters and scenes from his own life , he now explores his tastes in literature. He has remained firm in admiration of some authors, others have caused indecision and a change of heart even. Producer Duncan Minshull.
