The secret life of the motorway: the honeymoon period
Listen to Will Self talking about how Britain is “a motorway race not an island race”, how motorway service stations are “microcosms of Britishness”, but how motorways nevertheless relate to “the yearning for bucolia” on the second part of this intriguing BBC4 documentary, which will be briefly available to watch on the BBC iplayer here. There is also a brief reading of Self’s short story Scale.
