Paul Theroux special - the American travel writer and author Paul Theroux discusses his latest novel The Lower River. It charts the return of a 62 year old American clothes salesman to the remote Malawian village where he spent four happy years, post college, working for the Peace Corp, an experience he shares with the author. Yet the Africa he finds on his return is much changed and not, it seems, for the better.

Paul Theroux shares his controversial views on aid to Africa as Mariella discusses with him the continent that inspired his writing career and after a very public spat, his renewed relationship with the writer V.S. Naipaul.
