Man Booker winning author of The English Patient, Michael Ondaatje talks about his new novel Warlight set in postwar London. Mariella Frostrup also talks to Nell Dunn about the re-issue of her ground breaking 1965 book Talking to Women. Novelist Damian Dibben, author of the children's series The History Keepers and new novel Tomorrow, explains why Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch is the book he'd never lend. And we pay tribute to Croatian writer Daša Drndić who died last week. Katharina Bielenberg, from her English publisher Maclehose, explains what drove Drndić to write.
