Mariella Frostrup explores the idea of the Great American Novel and asks if it's honoured at the expense of contemporary British novels. She's joined by Benjamin Markovits and Stephanie Merrit. Phillip Lewis luxuriates in the writing of William Styron's The Confessions of Nat Turner. Also on the programme, Mariella celebrates the joys and traditions of reading aloud.
