Creatures, Milch, McEwan

Studio 360

Father’s Day with a twist. Kafka meets Claymation when real-life parents are turned into bumble bees. Deadwood and Hill Street Blues creator David Milch says the shady real-life dealings of his own dad inspired several of his unsavory characters. And a toymaker’s son has a soft spot for the 2-cent tchotkes his dad created for cereal boxes. Plus: novelist Ian McEwan on his new book, On Chesil Beach.
