There is ONE great British woman writer

 



The Missed Lives of Max and Judy (1/2)

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001yxg8

So.... who the heck is? ..... i looked, written by...

Janina Matthewson...


And i do not jest. Even in old days as world traveling hobo gypsy pilot bobbing around the world,  finding radio drama on the world service was my education. And best relaxation


Until 6 or 7 years ago when  it went so so so.... formulaic and anodyne ( except Mike Walker..) ... just dead. 

Forced pity, and confected " something wrong with me" bullshit.

None of which we learn from


I listen to every radio 4 afternoon play, 99.5% i just cannot make it to the end... for several years... 

Her two, lovely cliff edge real writing.... that grabs you by the heart and reminds you why we have one.

Pure. ...saudade ( " is not finished yet" ..the Portuguese told me)
