ENCORE WITH UPDATE! Ruth Prawer Jhabvala — Heat and Dust with Brigitte Hales
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
With Counterpoint Press's new editions of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's work (including her Booker-Prize winning novel Heat and Dust and a new short story collection Disinheritance: The Rediscovered Stories) we're inspired to revisit our 2022 episode on this prolific writer of fiction and films. Pivotal to the success of Merchant/Ivory films like A Room With a View and Howard's End, Jhabvala used her experiences as an "initiated outsider" to tell stories brimming with nuance, humor, truth and beauty.
Mentioned in this episode:
Heat and Dust by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala
Disinheritance: The Rediscovered Stories by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala
A Room with a View (1985 film)
The Householder by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala
