Amazingly, there were two quite separate hour-long programmes last night back to back on BBC4 TV respectively about Vladimir Nabokov and A.S. Byatt. The latter is my favourite living fiction writer and I've been interested over the years in the fiction of former. Serendipitously, both programmes contained much material concerning matters that have preoccupied me about fiction all my life - latterly with Nemonymity and (Dis)Connectedness - as well as being extremely interesting in themselves concerning the writing and non-writing lives of these two writers. A televisual feast of non-visual creativity. When will we see the like of it again? Did anyone else see these programmes? | ||
