“I borrowed a typewriter from a neighbour. I typed for 14 hours a day until I had a full manuscript. After I had written The End, I locked it in a flight case and vowed never to look at it again, or discuss its contents with anyone. With that one act that note turned into a book that kept me alive.”
Join Granta Best of Young British Novelist Jenni Fagan, one of Scotland’s most arresting writers, for a conversation with Pip Adam about writing her memoir, Ootlin, and what it shows us about the power of creation.
