This is fascinating, and I will spend my hard earned pences on it.

"Rare recordings of some of the last century's greatest writers are to be released for the first time - from F Scott Fitzgerald reciting Othello to Tennessee Williams lambasting critics and Raymond Chandler drunkenly slurring his way through an interview with Ian Fleming."

Sounds highly excellent. Here's a little audio clip about the release.

These are fantastic. I heard a few clips on Radio 4 yesterday - Virginia Woolf with so many plums in her mouth she was virtually unintelligible! One somehow always suspected as much.
