When Do We Pull The Plug On A Book?

When Do We Pull The Plug On A Book?

This week on A Bit Of Culture, Lynn goes through her struggles with getting into a novel, and the team attempts to determine the best time to pull the plug on an uncaptivating book. Eddin Khoo then delves into the cultural factors that affect how you perceive art, using Malaysia's traditional puppet show Wayang Kulit, as an example. The team ends by answering what Kam calls 'the important question in the history of A Bit Of Culture, is there life after Leonard Cohen? In conjunction with the Canadian songwriter's death anniversary, they mull over his legacy and the impact it had on each of our culture vulture's lives.
