Friday Treat Time!

An arty but hopefully inspiring treat for you today - a BBC Radio 3 audio drama starring Martin Freeman of 'The Unfortunates' by BS Johnson. What's inspiring about the original book is that it was published in a box, in 27 sections, to be read in any order, except for the first and the last sections.


Here is the official blurb below on the BBC Radio 3 audio drama:

"Adaptation of B.S. Johnson's 1969 novel in which a sports journalist travels to a strange city to cover a football match, only to discover it was the city where he first met his friend Tony who has died young of cancer. We follow the journalist from his arrival at the train station, through lunch, to the match and on the journey home, as different memories of his friend are triggered.

Listen as the author intended - in a random order.

Its structure is intended to mirror the arbitrary way that the author’s mind worked on this particular day – the random coming together of memories of Tony and the business of reporting a football match."

Enjoy!
