Tom and Miriam discuss what might have happened if, at the age of 17, he'd come out to his parents when an opportunity unexpectedly presented itself at a school picnic, instead of waiting until the age of 23 to tell them his truth. Along the way they talk about full moon parties in Thailand, the impact of hiding your identity at a formative age and how often others can see you more clearly than you see yourself.Tom Rob Smith's bestselling novels in the Child 44 trilogy were international publishing sensations. Among its many honours, Child 44 won the International Thriller Writer Award for Best First Novel, the Galaxy Book Award for Best New Writer, and was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize, shortlisted for the Costa First Novel Award and the inaugural Desmond Elliot Prize, and is now a major motion picture. Tom's new novel, Cold People, about a colony of global apocalypse survivors trying to reinvent civilisation under the most extreme conditions imaginable, is to my mind an intimate and hopeful look at how people can and do come together against all odds. Crucially, it's out now and available in your local bookshop.Make sure to subscribe to hear the rest of Season 4 – in each episode, Miriam Robinson interviews a guest about another path their life might have taken. Together, step by step, they write the stories of their unlived lives. Produced by Neil Mason Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

En la Unión Soviética de Stalin el estado le dice al mundo y a sus ciudadanos que han desarrollado el paraíso perfecto, una utopía social en la cual el pueblo no debe tener miedo de nada, ni siquiera de la delincuencia común, pero una serie de asesinatos demuestra que el paraíso es mentira, y que si hay que tenerle miedo a algo: al gobierno. Una novela ficticia basada en aspectos de la vida real del comunismo soviético

Um dos temas centrais do filme é a recusa do governo soviético em reconhecer a existência de um serial killer na URSS até a perestroika.

À l'occasion de la sortie d'Express, dans cette reco du weekend, place à l'adrénaline et aux complots. Voici trois thrillers d'une saison qu'on peut retrouver sur Starzplay. The Capture Afghanistan : un soldat tire et tue un prisonnier taliban sans raison apparente. Mais le contexte manque, que s'est-il réellement passé ? Est-ce que le soldat Shaun Emery (Callum Turner) a vraiment commis ce crime ? La vidéo a-t-elle été retouchée ? Et ce n'est pas tout, est-ce qu'il est également coupable d'enlèvement ? Des questions qui vont tentées d'être répondues par l'inspectrice Rachel Carey (Holliday Grainger) dans The Capture. https://youtu.be/xuuY0DqekqA L'Angleterre est l'un des pays avec le plus de caméras de surveillance par habitant, près de 7,5 pour 100 individus. Alors il arrive de se sentir parfois oppressés en ville surtout lorsqu'on a des tendances paranoïaques ou qu'on est accusé d'un crime grave. La mise en scène insiste d'ailleurs sur ces caméras CCTV puisqu'on voit souvent l'image à travers un écran et des actions filmées en point de vue surveillance, ce qui rajoute une couche de suspense. Une saison 2 a été commandée mais avec le covid des retards se sont cumulés et aucune nouvelle pour le moment n'a été annoncée mis à part, normalement, le retour de Holliday Grainger. MotherFatherSon Ce n'est pas tous les jours qu'on trouve une série avec Richard Gere. Si sa carrière n'est plus autant prolifique qu'il y a 30 ans, l'acteur continue toujours de travailler de temps en temps. MotherFatherSon est d'ailleurs une bonne ligne à son CV. Il y incarne Max Finch, un magnat américain de l'industrie des médias qui a beaucoup de choses à cacher. Helen McCrory (Peaky Blinders) joue sa femme avec qui il entretient des rapports tendus, surtout lorsque leur fils de 30 ans qui dirige la branche londonienne est atteint d'un AVC et susceptible de révéler les secrets de son père. La série de 2019 est écrite par Tom Rob Smith, le créateur de London Spy et scénariste de The Assassination of Gianni Versace. https://youtu.be/icHJMkRImKs Le thriller réussit à mêler politique et média, un sujet qui revient souvent sur le tapis notamment en période d'élections présidentielles. La neutralité journalistique existe-t-elle réellement ? Et évidemment les relations familiales sont-elles prioritaires ? En tout cas, le thriller vire au mélodrame quand la famille rentre en jeu. Manhunt: Deadly Games Manhunt est une anthologie sur les grands attentats de l'histoire américaine. Seule la saison 2 concernant Richard Jewell est disponible sur la plateforme. La saison 1 était centrée autour de l'Unabomber. Le cas Richard Jewell est un film par Clint Eastwood, mais il est aussi le sujet de la la saison 2 de Manhunt: Deadly Games sortie quelques mois plus tard. Et dans ce thriller complotiste, les acteurs interprétant Richard Jewell et sa mère sont aussi brillants que leurs homologues du grand écran. Cameron Britton et Judith Light semblent perdus, font tout ce qu'ils peuvent pour se sortir de cette situation et sont écrasés par les médias. https://youtu.be/j3q53V_bUwQ Dans les diverses séries de profilage de type Mindhunter (où Cameron Britton campe justement un serial killer), Manhunt: Deadly Games a clairement moins fait parler d'elle et pourtant elle n'en est pas moins une production de qualité avec une histoire très bien ficelée. Attention, la fiction est vraiment loin de la réalité dans cette série, alors il ne faudra pas la prendre comme argent comptant. C'était trois séries d'une saison à voir sur Starzplay.

Hilliard Guess interviews Tom Rob Smith about his FX limited series The Assassination of Gianni Versace.

We hear about the second series of the American Crime Story television franchise which began in 2016 with The People Versus OJ Simpson. John Wilson is joined in the studio by novelist turned screenwriter Tom Rob Smith. He has written the next instalment - The Assassination of Gianni Versace - which dramatises the events surrounding the murder of the Italian fashion designer outside his Miami home in 1997. Freud and Bacon are at the heart of Tate Britain's latest show, and there is a whole room of Paula Rego paintings,too. All Too Human follows the depiction of the human in figurative art in the last 100 years. John Wilson speaks to the curator Elena Cripps and David Dawson who was Lucian Freud's assistant. Freud's portrait of Dawson is included in the exhibition. Art critic Louisa Buck reviews the show and considers if an exhibition with such a broad theme allows for a more interesting range of work than most.Debut novelist Mick Kitson explains the thinking behind his audacious debut novel Sal, which tells the story of two young girls, sisters, who go on the run in Scotland's Galloway Forest after one of them, in self defence, commits a shocking crime. The novel portrays their attempts to survive in the wilderness based on bushcraft skills acquired from watching YouTube videos.Presenter: John Wilson Producer: Julian May.

Tom Rob Smith seems like a nice enough guy, but many of his works are about grisly murders. His newest project is ‘The Assassination of Gianni Versace,' FX's second entry in its American Crime Story anthology. The series examines the murder of the fashion icon, and looks at the lives of the other men who died at the hand of killer Andrew Cunanan. Smith tells us why writing about murder is a useful way of exploring a society.

This week... Mind Grapes: Very librarian. Much books. Wow. Literacy. Both Sam and Alli were feeling very bookish, so we share our thoughts on The Family Trade by Charles Stross, Redshirts by John Scalzi, The Book of Strange New Things by Michael Faber, and The Farm by Tom Rob Smith. We also talk about how we probably will go see The Martian, even though Matt Damon has been talking out of his butt lately. However, we also discuss some frustration with the idea that ALL BOOKS ARE NOW BECOMING MOVIES. Watch us turn into cranky old women before your very eyes! Class Z(ed): We've both been lucky (mostly) to be attending some recent professional development workshops meant to help us out with our teaching. Alli discusses the Instructional Skills Workshop, a 3-day whirlwind meant to hone teaching skills, learn new techniques, and test out new ideas. Sam has been partnering with the UBC Learning Exchange to get some tips and tricks about teaching adult communities. Bonus: hear a rant about a not so great workshop about intercultural communication.

Daniél Espinosas nya film Child 44 utspelas i Stalintidens Moskva 1953. Filmen som bygger på en roman av Tom Rob Smith från 2008, har redan förbjudits i Ryssland. I Kino berättar han om vad som hände. Det ska också handla om glammigt cityliv i Ghanas huvudstad Accra i Youtube-serien An African City. Rysslands kulturminister Vladimir Medinsky menade att filmen inte behandlade historiska fakta korrekt och gav en falsk och nedsvärtande av perioden och säkerhetstjänstens arbete. Daniél Espinosa kommer till Kino och berättar mer om det ryska mottagandet. Det blir också ett samtal om konsten att skildra våld på film. Finns det en särskild slagsmålets koreografi och estetik, och varför har han valt att göra så mycket action? Vi har också besökt Ghanas huvudstad Accra där Youtubeserien An African City gjort succé med Sex and the City-inspirerad underhållning om självständiga och köpstarka afrikanska kvinnor. Peter Bjurbo har träffat seriens skapare Nicole Amarteifio som berättar att hon lärt sig göra film genom att titta på Youtube-klipp. Och att hennes ambition har varit att visa ett annat Afrika än det som vanligen visas i nyhetsrapporteringen, där svält och umbäranden sedan decennier dominerat bilden av Afrika. Nu har serien sålts till Canal plus och arbetet med säsong två är i full gång.  Och så ska Kinos programledare Saman Bakhtiari undersöka om han har en framtid som filmregissör. Han har stämt träff med en riktig makthavare i filmbranschen: filmkonsulenten Baker Karim, för att pitcha några långfilmsidéer.   Programledare: Saman Bakhtiari Producent: Nina Asarnoj

With Kirsty Lang. Oh What a Lovely War, Joan Littlewood's controversial musical satire about the First World War, is being revived in its original home, the Theatre Royal Stratford East. The 1963 production, which Littlewood intended would mock 'the vulgarity of war', was loved by audiences, but detested by some who saw its message as unpatriotic. Critic and historian Kathryn Hughes reviews the production and considers whether the play has the same impact today. After the success of the 'Child 44' trilogy, author Tom Rob Smith has just published a somewhat different type of crime novel. 'The Farm' is a psychological thriller, set in Sweden and England, which keeps the reader guessing throughout. He reveals how the main premise for the novel was inspired by a real life event very close to home. The first series of the television drama, Line Of Duty, found many fans for its study of police corruption. The writer, Jed Mercurio, has now written a second series with a new police officer, Detective Inspector Lindsay Denton played by Keeley Hawes, under investigation. The writer MJ Hyland reviews. How best to translate a novel is a perennial question, but some authors whose works have been published in China have also found the stories themselves being censored. Kirsty hears from journalist Jonathan Fenby and from literary-translation rights specialist Jenny Robson - and US based crime-writer Qiu Xiaolong and Booker Prize winner AS Byatt relate their two very different experiences. Producer: Rebecca Armstrong.

Comedian and author Russell Kane is in the presenter's chair this week talking to Enid Shomer about her novel which fictionalises a meeting between Gustave Flaubert and Florence Nightingale.
