Description

Brian Hayes speaks to Richard Adams, author of recently-published novel, The Plague Dogs. Adams talks about the subjects of his books, the animation of Watership Down, his reluctance to be typecast as a writer of rabbit stories, his literary influences (which include George Orwell, Laurie Lee, and J.R.R. Tolkien), and the USA and (its lack of) culture.
