In this special edition of Sounds Jewish direct from [url=http://www.jewishbookweek.com/2010/index.php]Jewish Book Week[/url] in the heart of London, join Jason Solomons as he speaks to acclaimed writers from Britain, America and beyond.

The literary festival launched with a big fanfare this year to celebrate the slightly bizarre festival of Purim, a kind of Jewish Mardi-Gras. We hear from Purim performers Simon Schama, Anita Diamant and Kathy Lette as they explain why cross-dressing and getting drunk are obligatory.

Writer and critic Hephzibah Anderson speaks to Jonathan Safran-Foer, about his new book, [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/feb/22/jonathan-safran-foer-factory-farming]Eating Animals[/url], in which he discusses vegetarianism, his grandmother and rejecting Friday night chicken soup.

Jason speaks to writer Will Self who talks about half-Jews and Jews on the margins – and explains why he believes his American mother was a self-hating Jew.

Cultural critic [url=link to http://www.tabletmag.com/arts-and-culture/music/17942/a-fine-romance-2/]David Lehman[/url] explains why White Christmas and Easter Parade are actually Jewish songs in his new book A Fine Romance.
