Owen Sheers presents an edition of the books programme from New York. He visits Brooklyn to find out why it has displaced Manhattan as the city's literary heart. He talks to novelists Paul Auster and Siri Hustvedt, the First Couple of the borough's literary scene, and finds out why the label Brooklyn Writer is beginning to cause some irritation to those who live and work there.
