A Good Read - Carol Morley and Will Hislop Books and Authors

    • Samhälle och kultur

THE RED PARTS by Maggie Nelson (Vintage), chosen by Carol Morley
INVISIBLE CITIES by Italo Calvino (Vintage), chosen by Will Hislop
ORDINARY PEOPLE by Diana Evans (Vintage), chosen by Harriett Gilbert
Film director Carol Morley chooses a memoir called The Red Parts, in which author Maggie Nelson tries to make sense of the horror, grief and scepticism of her own aunt's murder trial. A book that blurs the boundaries between personal memoir, psychoanalysis and true crime.
Comedian Will Hislop chooses Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino, which transports us to 55 different fictional reincarnations of Venice through a series of beautifully detailed and occasionally absurd vignettes. Calvino's prose poems are ordered by theme and, as a reader, you can choose how you want to navigate his matrix of the chapters.
Harriett's choice takes us to London with a novel by Diana Evans called Ordinary People, in which two couples find themselves at a moment of reckoning, an intimate study of identity, parenthood and the fragility of love.
Presenter: Harriett Gilbert
Producer: Becky Ripley
