Sillitoe on radio tonight
“Saturday Night and Sunday Morning” and “The Loneliness of the Long-Dis-tance Runner” are two of the early novels that first brought the English novelist, Alan Sillitoe, to the public’s attention. His books have never followed a pattern, and his latest, “The Lost Flying Boat” is no exception. Set just after World 11, it is about eight men and a flying boat on a desperate quest for treasure, as the author will explain tonight, on “8.8. C. World of Books” (Concert programme, 7 p.m.). Thomas Keneally’s latest book, “Outback” is set in his native Australia. Filled with magnificent photographs, it is about what has been described as the “dead centre” of the continent — the hinterland. On the programme, he is asked about the religious significance that the landscape holds for the Aboriginals.
