SAT SAT 01:30 The Ambassador's Reception b00rv5dc (Listen) SAT "Being thrown out of the US embassy in Ankara with Arthur SAT Miller - a voluntary exile - was one of the proudest moments SAT of my life." SAT In March 1985 Harold Pinter and American playwright Arthur SAT Miller took a trip to Turkey that culminated in their being SAT thrown out of the American Ambassador's dinner party held in SAT Arthur Miller's honour. They were not in Turkey for a play SAT or a literary event but to draw attention to the ruthless SAT limits being set on freedom of expression in Turkey at that SAT time, and the many writers languishing in prison. SAT "Mr. Pinter, you don't seem to understand the realities of SAT the situation here. Don't forget, the Russians are just over SAT the border. You have to bear in mind the political reality, SAT the diplomatic reality, the military reality." SAT For BBC Radio 4 writer and journalist Maureen Freely SAT retraces their footsteps and takes us on a journey across SAT Istanbul into the homes and meeting places of the Turkish SAT literati who in the 1980s were oppressed, imprisoned and SAT tortured for their opinions. Until then the world had turned SAT a blind eye to their plight. Did Pinter and Miller's trip SAT draw attention to a regime that was cruelly persecuting its SAT people or were hopes raised only to be quashed again with SAT the realisation that military strategy was more important to SAT the world than human rights? SAT Evoking images of country full of promise yet stunted by SAT doubt and distrust Maureen hears from painters, writers, and SAT publishers - those who remember the trip vividly, those who SAT were locked up for speaking their mind, and the new SAT generation of authors. She finds out whether Turkey is a SAT better, safer and freer place to be a writer today than it SAT was in the spring of 1985 or whether having an opinion that SAT deviates from the official line remains a dangerous path to SAT tread.

SAT SAT 07:30 Capturing America: Mark Lawson's History of Modern SAT American Literature b00rp1w6 (Listen) SAT Goodbye Soldiers, Hello Everyone SAT Mark Lawson completes his tour of modern American literature SAT with a story of departures and arrivals and the cultural SAT pressures which writers face in the 21st century. SAT The great post-Second World War generation of authors - SAT Norman Mailer, John Updike, Joseph Heller, Kurt Vonnegut Jr SAT - and their surviving contemporaries such as Gore Vidal and SAT Philip Roth often expressed gloom about the future of SAT serious novels and plays, fearing they would be pushed out SAT by a pressure towards more commercial and personal stories. SAT The rise of "confessional writing" - from the poetry of SAT Sylvia Plath and others in the 60s to the modern "misery SAT memoir" - has seemed to call into question the validity of SAT imagination and invention. Lawson argues that an underlying SAT change in the status of the literary novel is epitomised by SAT the fact that wheareas in the 1960s John Updike was featured SAT on the cover of Time magazine, more recently it was Dan SAT Brown. SAT However a new wave of so-called "hyphenated"' writers - SAT Indian-American, Korean-American, Dominican-American - has SAT been renewing U.S libraries in the way they always had been: SAT through immigration. SAT Taking final stock Mark Lawson reflects on whether American SAT Literature has reached a full stop or perhaps achieved a new SAT dash. He talks to authors including John Ashbery, Rita Dove, SAT Chang-rae Lee, Junot Diaz, Lorrie Moore, Walter Mosley and SAT James Patterson. SAT Credits SAT Producer: Robyn Read SAT SAT 08:00 Archive on 4 b00771nw (Listen) SAT The Edwards Archive SAT Twenty-five years ago, film-maker John Edwards interviewed SAT 50 of the surviving cameramen who had worked for the cinema SAT newsreel companies in America and Europe.

SAT SAT 09:00 Not the World Cup in Brazil b0499kgw (Listen) SAT Some of the top footballers, the highest earners who command SAT admiration on and off the field, are in France for Euro SAT 2016. SAT But for most players and fans football isn't about glamour. SAT It's the stuff of everyday life. SAT Like the supporter who has seen his team play every match, SAT home and away for 40 years and the 75 year old who loves the SAT game so much he still ventures out in all weathers three SAT times a week just to score a goal. These people are the SAT beating heart and soul of football, the men and women who SAT are often forgotten as the media keeps its focus on the top SAT players and clubs. SAT The 6 Music DJ Steve Lamacq co-presents the programme. As a SAT lifelong Colchester United supporter, a club that's just SAT been relegated yet again, he knows only too well the SAT hardships football can bring, a cycle that regularly breaks SAT the hearts of its loyal band of fans. Inexpert analysis SAT comes from the comedian and football sceptic Robin Ince. Can SAT Steve persuade Robin that football should become part of his SAT life? SAT The programme features the best from the BBC archives, SAT including John Motson. He takes a wry look at Ample Arthur SAT Cartwright, a player whose career was blighted by a love of SAT palaeontology while The Likely Lads Bob and Terry spend a SAT desperate day trying to avoid hearing the result of a game SAT until the highlights are shown on TV later in the evening. SAT We follow the fortunes of a parks team, hear from the woman SAT who regularly turned out for all male sides and travel to SAT Robben Island in South Africa to meet the men who used SAT football as a way of fighting apartheid. SAT Not The World Cup In Brazil, which was made in 2014, is a SAT millionaire player and club owner free zone and hears from SAT the ordinary people who believe football is a sport not a SAT balance sheet.

SUN SUN 17:00 Poetry Extra b00vvx8m (Listen) SUN Oh What a Lively War SUN BBC Radio 4's Poet in Residence, Daljit Nagra revisits BBC SUN radio's poetry archive with 'Oh What a Lively War' profiling SUN First World War poet, Guillaume Apollinaire. SUN One of the most famous lines in French poetry was written by SUN Guillaume Apollinaire in the summer of 1915. His "Ah Dieu! SUN que la guerre est jolie" is roughly translated as "Oh! What SUN a lovely war!", but unlike the famous English musical, SUN Apollinaire's line was devoid of irony. Here was a young SUN poet revelling in the excitement, the sheer modernism, of SUN warfare. It's a sentiment very much at odds with our British SUN legacy of war poetry from that time, and it's one that SUN Martin Sorrell, translator of Apollinaire, unpicks with SUN Professors Susan Harrow and Tim Kendall, and American poet SUN Brian Turner, who served in the US army in Iraq. SUN Apollinaire was already a well-known poet and leading SUN champion of Cubism when he enlisted in December 1914. His SUN war came to an end in March 1916, when he received a SUN shrapnel wound to the head. He was invalided out, trepanned, SUN made only a partial recovery, and died in November 1918, SUN almost the same day as Wilfred Owen, SUN His early war poetry of 1914 and 1915 is infused with the SUN marvel and spectacle of war, and continues the experiments SUN with form that made him one of France's great literary SUN innovators. It also celebrates his rich, complicated love SUN life. His letters to the two women with whom he was SUN simultaneously involved are fascinating records of a SUN passionate patriot and an equally passionate lover.

MON Team: MON Studio managers: Anne Bunting, Jenni Burnett, Alison Craig. MON Editor: Anne Bunting MON Production Co-ordinator: Beverly Tagg MON Published in 1821, The Spy was the first commercially MON successful American work of popular fiction. On top of that, MON it is also generally regarded as the world's first espionage MON novel. Until Fenimore Cooper, spies in fiction had been MON villains, the lowest of the low. But in creating Harvey MON Birch (played here by Burn Gorman), a double agent during MON the American War of Independence, Cooper began the tradition MON of spy-as-hero, leading to the great genre novels of the MON late 19th and 20th centuries. MON Set in Westchester County, New York State, in 1778, we meet MON Harvey Birch, a mysterious pedlar, when he turns up MON unexpectedly at The Locusts, a house in no-man's-land MON between British and American forces, owned by the wealthy MON Wharton family. The Whartons are a family of divided MON loyalties: one of the daughters, Frances, is engaged to an MON American officer. The other, Sarah, is a romantic royalist. MON Birch who, with his father, lives in a small house nearby MON is, it is rumoured, a double agent and both sides have put a MON price on his head. His house has been attacked by British MON forces, and Birch has been forced to take to the dangerous MON road... MON Travelling on foot with his salesman's pack on his back, MON Birch appears to steer clear of political or military MON allegiances, trading with both sides. Yet whenever the MON honour and the safety of decent people is in danger, Birch MON is at hand. He suffers appalling indignities, is robbed, MON burnt out of his home by the terrifying Skinners - American MON outlaws posing as Patriot irregulars - and is sentenced to MON death by the American forces. He never uses his privileged MON position to save his own skin, for, only at the very end of MON the story is it revealed, that he has a personal commission MON - from George Washington himself. MON MON 11:00 Jennifer Egan - Emerald City and Other Stories MON b01f5c03 (Listen) MON Puerto Vallarta MON 2011 was a phenomenal year for the young American author, MON Jennifer Egan.

Now a collection of her short stories has MON been re-published by Constable and Robinson. MON Entitled Emerald City, the stories are a pithy and sometimes MON poignant look at contemporary life in the United States. MON Young and middle-aged characters change, grow and regret in MON a series of tales that traverse the United States and the MON state of modern marriage, parenting and ambition. Egan is MON heralded as one of the best writers to emerge in the past MON decade and this collection underlines her ability to bring a MON spotlight on the particular and to reflect a nation in MON challenging times. MON Today's story, Puerto Vallarta, is a portrait of a family, MON where the truth is not as it seems and where a daughter has MON to make a choice and so find her own freedom.
