Chris Power talks to Jenny Erpenbeck, the prize-winning German novelist behind Go, Went, Gone and The End of Days. Her latest book, Not A Novel, is a collection of non-fiction combining essays and lectures with insightful insights from growing up in Berlin. Yevgeny Zamyatin's landmark dystopia We, a direct influence on Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and George Orwell's 1984, is a hundred years old. Margaret Atwood joins to discuss her introduction to a new translation, along with Professor of Russian literature at UCL, Maria Rubins. And Irish author Neil Hegarty takes us on a visual journey of paintings in fiction, two mediums which have long complimented each other.
