Logo for Afternoon Reading: The Time Being - Series 4 - The Painter and the Dybbuk

Series of original stories by unpublished writers. In Jewish folklore a Dybbuk is the wandering soul of a dead person that enters the body of a living person and controls his or her behaviour. A painter's talent has so far kept him alive in Auschwitz. But as he starts on a portrait of one of the guards, he wonders just who is in control. By Claire Griffiths, read by Nicholas Farrell. A Sweet Talk production for BBC Radio 4.
