Nightwaves: The rhetoric of family
Listen to Will Self talking about the idea of the family on Nightwaves on the BBC iplayer here (available until December 29).

House Arrest
Listen to Will Self’s monologue House Arrest for Radio 4’s From Fact to Fiction, in which he responds to a week of news that has reported the release of various individuals after periods of imprisonment.
