Matthew Sweet talks to Booker-nominated novelist Julia O\u2019Faolain about her new memoir and growing up with her father, a celebrated writer and a radical dissident. Helen Wallace reviews George Benjamin\u2019s and Martin Crimp\u2019s new opera, \u2018Written on Skin\u2019. Professor Nora Crook explains how she discovered who really censored Shelley\u2019s notorious poem, \u2018The Revolt of Islam\u2019. Marcus Chown reviews The Challenger, a new docu-drama about the investigation into the 1986 space shuttle disaster. And we debate whether the use of words like \u2018unacceptable\u2019 and \u2018inappropriate\u2019 are part of a tendency to avoid casting strong moral judgements.
