"I’m Andrew Marjoribanks. This sunny hour: I’ll give you Wordsworth Books brightest and best in fiction and non-fiction. Philip Todres talks to Marianne Thamm about her memoir of sorts – 'Hitler, Verwoerd, Mandela and Me', while Beverley Roos Muller muses on the niceties of the Nobel Prize for Literature with Bob Dylan as this year’s winner. Melvyn Minnaar finds fine literature in Colson Whitehead’s 'The Underground Railroad.' "Who is the Dad?", Vanessa Levenstein wonders as she reads Bridget Jones Baby – 'The Diaries' by Helen Fielding. Peter Soal suggests that Helen Zille’s autobiography 'Not Without a Fight' is one of the most fascinating political stories of our time, while Cindy Moritz happily finds humour in Sam Cowen’s memoir 'From Whiskey to Water' – the talk show host’s addiction to drink, food and ultimately long-distance swimming. Finally we chat to Wilbur Smith about his wife, Mokiniso, caviar and his newest novel 'Pharoah'."
