What a great way to start a new series! The brilliant Emma Jane Unsworth joins us down the line from Brighton. Emma is the author of the critically acclaimed novels Hungry, the Stars and Everything, Adults and Animals, which was turned into a lauded film. Her latest work is a memoir about motherhood: After the Storm. We talked to her about werewolves, living in Jane Eyre's world, dirty girl gangs and the redemptive qualities of Carrie Fisher.BOOKSEmma Jane Unsworth - AnimalsEmma Jane Unsworth - AdultsEmma Jane Unsworth - After The StormCharlotte Bronte - Jane EyreAgatha Christie - CollectionCarrie Fisher - Postcards From the EdgeMarian Keyes - Rachel’s HolidayEdward St Aubyn - Bad NewsCalla Henkel - Other People’s ClothesEmer McLysaght & Sarah Breen - Oh My God What a Complete AislingNikesh Shukla - Brown BabyCandice Brathwaite - I Am Not Your Baby MotherSigrid Nunez - The FriendGayl Jones - CorregidoraCandice Carty-Williams - QueenieRaven Leilani - LusterKristen Roupenian - You Know You Want ThisGlen Duncan - Last WerewolfJilly Cooper - RivalsGustave Flaubert - Madame BovaryMaggie Nelson - ArgonautsSinead Gleeson - ConstellationsMaggie O’Farrell - I Am I Am I AmLynn Enright - VaginaKirstin Innes - Scabby QueenJenn Ashworth - Ghosted: A Love StoryJenni Fagan - Luckenbooth Jenni Fagan -The Panopticon Katherine Heiny - Standard DeviationKatherine Heiny - Early Morning RiserKatherine Heiny - Single Carefree MellowLaurie Colwin - Happy All The TimeJennifer Egan - Visit From the Good SquadChloe Caldwell - I'll Tell You in PersonLorrie Moore - Gate at the StairsLorrie Moore - BarkMargaret Atwood - Cat’s EyeZadie Smith - White TeethZadie Smith - IntimationsPatricia Lockwood - No One is Talking About ThisPatricia Lockwood - PriestdaddyAnnie Proulx - Brokeback Mountain: Story to ScreenplayBilly Mernit - Writing the Romantic ComedySyd Field - Screenplay See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
