BooksReviewDonne's sermons underpin Michael Cox's gloriously highbrow thriller, The Meaning of Night, says Giles FodenThe Meaning of Night
by Michael Cox 600pp, John Murray, £17.99

JazzObituaryIan Wheeler obituaryCreative and original clarinettist in British traditional jazzRated by his peers as one of the most creative and original reeds players in UK traditional jazz, Ian Wheeler, who has died aged 80, excelled on the clarinet, soprano and alto saxophones, and, more surprisingly perhaps, on blues harmonica and guitar.

Guantánamo BayWelcome to 'the disco'For US interrogators seeking to disorientate and break Iraqi prisoners it's 'torture lite' - rock music played at excruciating volumes. But while the song choices may sometimes verge on the unintentionally funny, this appropriation of music by the military is anything but a jokeAccording to US military authorities, it was God himself who first wrote the strategy of "torture by music" into the field manual - by turning the amplifier up to 11 on the enemy.
