Summary: The exhibition "Art and Anarchy in The UK" at The British Library looks back at nearly 2 centuries of comic book art in this country. Edward St Aubyn's newest novel tells the story of the jury judging the Elysian Prize for Literature. If you've not heard of it, that's because it doesn’t exist; the book includes extracts from novels nominated for the award. Sunny Afternoon is a musical based around the songs and career of The Kinks - a hugely influential group of the 60s and 70s. Blue Ruin is an award-winning independent US film; a gruesome revenge story following a normally placid modest man who seeks retribution on the killer of his parents. In the centenary year of Welsh poet's Dylan Thomas birth, A Poet in New York is part of BBC Wales' coverage to mark the occasion.
