World Book Club: Toni Morrison

Harriett Gilbert talks to Nobel Prize winning author Toni Morrison
about her 1987 Pulitzer Prize winning novel Beloved on Saturday 3
January 2009.

The book's protagonist Sethe was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but
eighteen years later she is still not free. She has too many memories
of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm where so many hideous things
happened. Here new home is haunted by the ghost of her baby, who died
nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with the single word:
Beloved.

World Book Club is a unique radio programme that brings readers from
around the world together with their favourite writers. Every month,
Harriett Gilbert invites a best-selling author to talk about the
chosen work, give a reading from it, then throw themselves open to
questions and feedback from a studio audience and readers worldwide.

Since its launch in 2002, the World Book Club has hosted other
Nobel-Prize winners; Wole Soyinka, Orhan Pamuk, VS Naipaul and Doris
Lessing as well as several Booker prize winners including Margaret
Atwood, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Salman Rushdie.

There are now two chances to hear World Book Club; in a new one hour
weekend version and in a half hour format as part of The Strand.

Presenter/Harriett Gilbert, Producer/Karen Holden
