Description

For Science Week, The Book Show goes intergalactic in a star themed episode. Ceridwen Dovey, Alicia Sometimes, Nardi Simpson, Max Barry and Emily St John Mandel explore how celestial tales reveal deep truths about our lives on earth.

From the fabulously weird stories about space junk in Only the Astronauts (Ceridwen Dovey) to the star dust fuelled poetry of Stellar Atmospheres (Alicia Sometimes) we pay tribute to the connections between the night sky and literature.

Books and authors mentioned:

Song of the Crocodile by Nardi Simpson

Only the Astronauts by Ceridwen Dovey

Stellar Atmospheres by Alicia Sometimes

Providence by Max Barry

Sea of Tranquillity by Emily St John Mandel
