A Good Read: Liam Williams and Kate Stables

Series 1497, episode 9

Comedian and actor Liam Williams chooses Bartleby, the Scrivener, Herman Melville's dark tale about the monotony of office work and people who quietly buck the system. The musician Kate Stables - aka This Is the Kit - is a self-confessed huge fan of Ursula K Le Guin, and she chooses The Word for World Is Forest, a book that draws heavily on the Vietnam War to comment on the nature of humanity. Harriett Gilbert's pick is Requiem by Antonio Tabucchi, a tale of unexpected encounters on the streets of Lisbon, as the narrator goes in search of a lost love
