Peter Sichrovsky and Katherine Sheers

This week on ‘Meet The Writers’ we welcome two guests. Journalist, author and former politician Peter Sichrovsky founded Austria’s liberal newspaper ‘Der Standard’ and then joined the right-wing Freedom party. He’s written more than 15 books, the most famous of which looks at the descendants of Nazis; his new work is a collection of short stories about love in a post-Holocaust world. Katherine Sheers is a mother, a lover of silk and a lingerie designer. She’s produced a book on intimate apparel and she tells us her own love story, from designing for Victoria’s Secret in a Chinese industrial town to coming home to marry the boy next door.
