Tea or Books? #47: sequels vs new-author sequels, and A Compass Error vs Pleasures and Landscapes
Sybille Bedford and sequels by the original author vs sequels by a different author… we need to come up with snappier titles for these things.
https://www.stuckinabook.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Tea-or-Books-episode-47.mp3
In episode 47, we start with a topic suggested by Karen via email – sequels, and whether or not we like sequels written by a different author to the original book. In the second half, we look at a novel (a sequel, in fact) by Sybille Bedford alongside some of her travel writing – A Compass Error (a sequel to A Favourite of the Gods) and Pleasures and Landscapes. This is also a contribution to the 1968 Club, because A Compass Error was published in 1968.
