Season 7: "Book Lunch": Hermione Lee's "Tom Stoppard: A Life " with Return Guest Joanne Davis Woods"

His prolific creations, not only vast (and quite disparate) plays, but work in movies, radio and even significant political activism in real life, for Jews in the former Soviet Union and dissidents everywhere, his considerable erudition in math and science almost as much as in the humanities, his love and wisdom about nature and interest in the tradition of English gardening - these facets are rarely found in any one mortal.Joanne and I discuss Lee's big book, mindful that Lee is herself one of the best biographers writing today, her own interests overlapping with my own in Isaiah Berlin, and an ideal author to present Stoppard's life. Hopefully we will discuss at least some of these topics in the episode. <br></p>
