Kirsty Young's castaway is the author Vikram Seth.
His novel A Suitable Boy was nearly a decade in the writing, but it was a huge and immediate hit and won the Commonwealth Writers' Prize. He is now working on a follow-up novel called A Suitable Girl. He's due to finish work on it in 2013 - 20 years after the original work was published. The pace of work, he admits, is slow: "The sound of deadlines pushing past is one of the sounds that authors are most familiar with - it's very much in the gestational period."

Actress Olivia Williams discusses her personal musical favourites with Michael Berkeley.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b010nrfq
The British actor Olivia Williams is pursuing an equally successful career in film and TV on both sides of the Atlantic. After spending three years at the RSC she played Jane Fairfax in the 1996 British TV film of Jane Austen's Emma. The following year she was screen tested by Kevin Costner and made her Hollywood debut in 'The Postman', later winning the lead role of Rosemary Cross in Wes Anderson's 'Rushmore' (1998). She went on to star as Bruce Willis's wife in 'The Sixth Sense' (1999), and has appeared in several British films including 'Lucky Break' (2001), 'The Heart of Me' (2002), for which she won a Best Actress award, and 'An Education' (2009). She played Mrs Darling in the latest film adaptation of Peter Pan. On TV she took the title role in the 2008 film 'Miss Austen Regrets', and was cast as Adelle DeWitt in Joss Whedon's Dollhouse (Fox TV, 2009-10). She is currently starring opposite 'Lost's' Matthew Fox on stage in London's West End in Neil LaBute's play 'In a Forest Dark and Deep'.
Olivia Williams grew up in North London surrounded by music, and her personal favourites include 'The trumpet shall sound' from Handel's Messiah and the opening of Mendelssohn's Elijah, both of which she sang in at school. She also chooses the Prelude from Bach's G major cello suite, played by Pablo Casals, which was the first classical piece she discovered for herself; the second movement of a Vivaldi mandolin concerto; a psalm setting by the 16th-century Spanish composer Diego Ortiz, which she loves for its earthy quality; Arvo Part's 'Tabula Rasa', which she uses as a 'prop' to make her cry; the cadenza of Brahms's Violin Concerto, which her father hoped she might play (she went into acting instead), and the opening of Mahler's Second Symphony (the 'Resurrection').

The Gothic
Sun 22 Jan 2012
18:30
BBC Radio 3
A sequence of poetry, prose and music on the theme of the gothic.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b011cjkz
This week Words and Music takes you into the darkened, turreted recesses of The Gothic. From the surreal, macabre beginnings of the genre in Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto to the tortured wanderings of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; the gothic literary world is one of dark passions and ominous thrills. Work by Coleridge and Keats shows the romantic impulse which was extended and darkened by later gothic writing, arriving in the late nineteenth century at Oscar Wilde's haunting Picture of Dorian Gray. Musically, we venture back to the 12th century with the work of Pérotin who composed amidst the gothic splendour of Notre Dame cathedral, as well as pieces by Bach, Berlioz, Paganini and Rachmaninov.
Producer Notes
The creeping, menacing, darkness of Verdi’s Prelude to Macbeth raises the curtain on the entrancing, unsettling world of The Gothic. Born of the twin eighteenth century literary fascinations of romanticism and the sublime, gothic literature took readers to cliff top castles, on Byronic journeys through unnatural tempests and into the more disturbing realms of imagination.
This was a genre designed to deliver a pleasurable thrill of terror and it gave rise to great literature. As ever, Shakespeare looms large - his Lady Macbeth was arguably the first gothic heroine and her chilling demand for supernatural powers to ‘unsex me now’ starts our shadowy journey. Mary Shelley’s entry in an 1816 story telling competition bestowed upon the world a spine chilling monster of a book which has lurked in the public consciousness ever since.
The name Frankenstein has become a metaphor in its own right. In the programme you’ll hear the poignant moment when Frankenstein’s monster suffers the painfully human sensation of remorse after the murder of his creator. Nineteenth century gothic revivalism in architecture revelled in the macabre, gargoyle-encrusted grandeur of medieval religious buildings.
We step inside Ernest Walsh’s Cathedral accompanied by the echoing enormity of Poulenc’s concerto for organ, strings and timpani. The unearthly music of Perotin, one of the twelfth century composers who served their apprenticeship amidst the gothic splendour of Notre Dame, evokes the ethereal majesty of a cathedral space with his Beata Viscera. Gregory Lewis’ The Monk takes gothic religiosity in a slightly more eccentric direction.
This tale of a lustful man of the cloth trying to overcome his demons has all the elements of gothic- gone-mad: we hear the moment when a devilish preacher with Pride!Lust!Inhumanity! written on his forehead lunges at an alter-bound virgin; an ideal introduction to Carl Orff’s demonic O Fortuna. While the gothic in music and literature is most often associated with darkness and fear; some of its defining principles come from the light infused excitement of romantic writing.
Wordsworth’s Tintern Abbey, with its rapturous paean to the haunting power of nature, shows us the roots of the gothic preoccupation with ever heightened sensation. We finally arrive at another iconic gothic location at the close of the programme. Léonie Adams’ pealing evocation of a Bell Tower is musically matched by Tallis’ luminous O Nata Lux, allowing us to step momentarily out of the shadows and into the light.
