The Swedish novelist Henning Mankell discusses the demise of his famous policeman Kurt Wallander in his latest book The Troubled Man and how he feels to no longer have this character in his life. Robin Denselow reviews three recent world music releases - Seun Kuti, son of Fela, Brazilian singer Tulipa, and Ojos De Brujo playing their distinctive hip-hop flamenco. The Japanese sculptor Atsuo Okamoto was born in Hiroshima and as a child round river pebbles were his toys and his passion. For Okamoto stone is so powerful that it must be split and split again before it becomes material an artist can work with. Photo: Neil Millington
