Observing Ourselves - a podcast by BBC Radio 4

Will Self reflects on mirrors, past and present.

'The imperfect mirrors of the past', he writes, 'were objectified metaphors of human imperfection, rather than the perfect ones that give contemporary humans the delusion that they too can achieve such earthly perfection.'
