Night Waves

Peter Carey

Matthew Sweet meets Booker Prize-winning novelist Peter Carey, who talks about new book His Illegal Self, which reflects some of his own experiences as a child in Queensland. He also discusses his concern about Americanisation of world culture and why activism is becoming more important.

Michael Goldfarb reviews There Will Be Blood, the new film by American director Paul Thomas Anderson, inspired by Upton Sinclair's 1920s novel Oil! and starring Daniel Day-Lewis.

Author and cultural commentator Lisa Appignanesi talks about her new book Mad, Bad and Sad, a history of women and psychoanalysis over the last 200 years.

And as part of Radio 3's South America season, Matthew ponders the state of the continent's visual arts - are they moving from the periphery to centre stage in the international art arena?
