City Reads: A L Kennedy talks to Lesley McDowell
Go here to YouTube for a film of the event (in two parts)
‘Genius... Kennedy’s skill as a writer continues to be astonishing. Every metaphor, every image hits like a painfully well-aimed arrow.’
Independent on Sunday
City Reads kicked off its 2010 programme with one of the most interesting and innovative contemporary writers around. A L Kennedy’s remarkable collection of short stories, What Becomes, shows exactly what becomes of the broken-hearted – and she does so with the enormous human compassion, wild leaps of humour, and the brilliantly original linguistic skill that distinguishes her as one of Britain’s finest writers. Come along to see a virtuoso close-up – Kennedy read from and discussed her work, in detail, and answered questions from the audience. Chaired by writer and critic Lesley McDowell.
