The waiting is nearly over! Ahead of Backlisted Season 3 - and our tenth anniversary year - John, Andy and Nicky get together to chat about books, vintage vinyl, what they did on their holidays, but mostly books: Sarah Perry's novel\xa0Enlightenment,\xa0recently longlisted for the Booker Prize; The Haunted Wood, Sam Leith's fascinating new history of childhood reading;\xa0I Will Die in a Foreign Land, Kalani Pickhart's timely exploration of the roots of the war in Ukraine; and\xa0The Cooler\xa0(1974), a newly-republished thriller by George Markstein, co-creator of the classic 1960s television series\xa0The Prisoner\xa0(and available direct from\xa0plumeriapics.co.uk). Plus this episode contains details of the subjects of our next half dozen shows, so get in there quick before the library reservation queue snakes round the block and prices on the secondhand market go through the ceiling. As Nicky says, this Locklisted-like episode of Backlisted is the recap before the new season begins in earnest next week.
