On Litopia After Dark this week:- Our Special Guest is Jean Hannah Edelstein, writer blogger and literary commentator. Is it time for the first female Poet Laureate? William McGonagall - genius or idiot? Nerds are the subject of a new book. Kindle figures are out and Amazon puts the squeeze on Publishers. And public schoolboys are back - but what makes us love them?
Here come the boys!
Litopia After Dark flexes its muscles and takes an unemotional, rational, stoic look at the masculine news of the week. We keep it real as we discuss boy poets, boy heroes, boy geeks and boys toys. No-one cries, there's little small talk and you can almost hear the stiff upper lips.
Our very special guest this week isn't a boy but Donna needed all the help she could get. Jean Hannah Edlestein is a contributing editor to Bad Idea Magazine, a frequent contributor to Guardian Unlimited, she's written features, comment and criticism for the Observer, the Sunday Times, The Independent and the Independent on Sunday... among many others. She's been described as everything from "the only attractive blogger" to a "wangsty git" (a term she explains on the show). Her first novel is due for release May 2009.
