The Secret Life of the Airport: Preparing for Take Off
Will Self is one of the contributors to this BBC4 three-part series charting the development of Britain’s airports and how they have transformed the country.
The first part “takes us from the heady, imperial glamour of Britain’s first airport terminal at Croydon to the internationally agreed hieroglyphics on today’s taxiways and runways. Using rare archive and access to airports’ hidden corners, it reveals the intense local rivalry, skulduggery and sheer passion for flight behind our airports.” It’s available on the BBC iplayer until July 6.
The Verb: Walking to the World
Another chance to listen to Will Self on The Verb talking about his walk from JG Ballard’s house in Shepperton to Heathrow and then his two-day trek from the airport in Dubai to The World resort. He also gives a short reading. The essay will feature as the introduction to his second collection of Psychogeography columns to be published in November by Bloomsbury.
