Wizard of Oz
January 12th, 2008 by Steve BowbrickHere’s a beautiful thing. A 40-minute feature from RTE’s Documentary on One strand about Amos Oz, Israeli novelist and humanist. It’s a lovely programme, based on his 2005 memoir A Tale of Love & Darkness. Oz is fascinating and humane and I could easily have filled this post with luminous quotes from the programme.
An intriguing detail is that it’s an adaptation of a programme originally made by Barbo Holmsberg for the Finnish state broadcaster YLE (I wonder if it’s Holmsberg narrating the programme). Anyway, for me that’s another hint of the speech radio richness that must exist out there beyond the English language fortress (MP3).
