Originally broadcast 03/12/09 as an episode of Strip! on Resonance 104.4 FM
Panels from Logicomix by Apostolos Doxiadis et al.
Alex Fitch talks to to author Apostolos Doxiadis about the graphic novel Logicomix – An epic search for truth which he co-wrote with computer scientist Christos Papadimitriou from the University of California in Berkeley. The graphic novel centres around the life of Bertrand Russell and explores the history of mathematics in the 20th century, intertwined with the story of the authors grappling with the project’s creation. Alex and Apostolos are looking at the interesting structure of the graphic novel and how this relates to its subject matter as well as the nature of modern biographical comic books.

(photo by Peter Knapp.)
This week John and Nick take a dérive through James Bone’s The London Perambulator published in 1925. Bone’s view of the city was idiosyncratic and hard to pin down, he was drawn to the overlooked and maligned corners of the metropolis. He dreamed of having the keys to the spirit of London and preached the virtues of night-time perambulations in all weathers.
Includes readings by Heidi Lapaine and field recordings retracing the chapter on North O’Euston.
