A newsletter from
Bitter Lemon Press... specialist publishers of translated crime fiction .... tells us that those of us in the UK listening to BBC Radio 4 are due for a Cuban crime treat on Saturday afternoons ( 2.30 - 3.30 pm starting 15th November ) with a series of dramatisations of
Leonardo Padura's "Havana Quartet".
What's more there is a tie in with a new series of
Mark Lawson's excellent
"Foreign Bodies". This time he looks at how crime fiction reflects different political systems.... starting with Cuba and Communism. These programmes will air on BBC Radio 4, from Monday 17th November, 1.45 - 2.00 pm. and will run daily in same slot until Friday 21st November. In addition to Cuba the episodes will cover political perspectives from USA, Poland, Australia and Nigeria.
Ooh! I gotta pin my ears back and enjoy this lot.
