THE LIVES AND LOVES OF A SHE DEVIL by Fay Weldon, chosen by Victoria Pile

THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA by Ernest Hemingway, chosen by Julian Baggini
CLEAR by Carys Davies, chosen by Harriett Gilbert

Comedy writer and director Victoria Pile joins philosopher and author Julian Baggini to talk about their favourite books with Harriett Gilbert. On the menu is a feminist revenge novel that is as dark as it is funny, a classic Hemingway novella that casts us out to sea, and an evocative short story set on a remote island off Scotland.
