The best of the world's arts, film, music, literature and music brought to you every day. For the first time the British art collector Charles Saatchi is showing his controversial works in Australia, including Tracy Emin's notorious My Bed. So how is his cutting edge art going down in Adelaide? The Strand reports. Acclaimed Irish novelist Sebastian Barry plunders his own family history, and with it, Ireland's, in his latest historical novel On Canaan's Side in which an 89 year old woman looks back at her eventful life.
