Gloria Steinem on radio
The American journalist and feminist, Gloria Steinem, first gained recognition with a piece called “I Was a Playboy Bunny” — an entertaining and penetrating attack on the whole ethos of the Playboy clubs. The article is now among a number reprinted in her book, “Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions,” which she will discuss on “8.8. C. World of Books” on the radio Concert programme at 7 o’clock tonight. In October, 1983, Hugh O’Shaugnessy was one of only two Western journalists to witness the fiercest fighting on the island of Grenada when American troops stormed the island after the violent death of the Prime Minister, Maurice Bishop. “Grenada: Revolution, Invasion and Aftermath” is the title of a paperback he has written about the experience, which he will talk about tonight. While researching a TV
play about the condition of the poor in England in the 1830 s, the prize-winning novelist, David Cook, came across an inscription in a house: “William Bustin aged 42 was hanged for setting fire to Edward Sheldon Esq’s ricks 13 in number.” That provided the inspiration for Cook’s latest novel, “Sunrising,” which he will discuss on the programme.
