The French Sherlock Holmes Society is claiming the Great Detective as one of their own countryman. English novelist A.S. Byatt talks about love, violence, death of ideals and her latest novel, Babel Tower. Plus, David Malouf's Remembering Babylon wins the world richest prize for a single work of fiction in English; John Grisham's novel, The Runaway Jury; and the scientific prize-winner, Plague's Progress: A Social History of Man and Disease by Arno Karlen.
