D. James, John Banville, James Fenton alongside many surprises, including a strange meditation on a husband's revenge by Rachel de Queiroz, a treatise on the murderous mind by Sigmund Freud, Melanie Klein on the manic-depressive murderer, and Tolstoy's little-known tale of the convict Aksenof who refuses to punish the man responsible for his incarnation.'
