A Good Read: David Morrissey & Julia Blackburn

David Morrissey and Julia Blackburn join presenter Harriett Gilbert to suggest favourite books. Julia nominates a collection of stories by JD Salinger, most often eclipsed by The Catcher in the Rye but equally brilliant on children and young people. David's choice is by the American writer John O'Hara. Published in 1934, it's a stylish and surprisingly erotic novel depicting the self-destructive decline of Julian English, a high-ranking member of a small-town elite. Harriett's choice is the devastating and amusing memoir of Alexandra Fuller about her childhood as the daughter of white settlers in Rhodesia of the 1970s
