The Biblipod: Ian Brown on ‘geezer lit’ and his new book, Sixty

This week, a conversation with Ian Brown, about his new book Sixty: The Beginning of the End, or the End of the Beginning?

Acclaimed journalist, author and broadcaster Ian Brown joins Anne Kingston for a special edition of the Bibliopod in which they discuss his funny, moving and enlightening diary of his sixty-first year, as well as “geezer lit,” the paucity of men’s voices in that literature, our age-defying, age-denying times, and the old person inside each of us. (Be warned: there is a brief moment of obscenity—but he’s quoting Harold Pinter, after all.)
