Alison MacLeod
from My Life In Books with Red Szell · host Accessible Media Inc.
This month, Red is in conversation with Canadian-British author Alison MacLeod, whose latest novel "Tenderness" weaves together fact and fiction to explore the genesis and repercussions of one of the most notorious books ever written: D.H. Lawrence’s "Lady Chatterley’s Lover." Through her extensive research, Alison has uncovered not only an FBI plot to suppress "Lady Chatterley’s" publication on both sides of the Atlantic, but also the likely model for Constance Chatterley herself. Join Alison and Red as they discuss how her findings fed into the creation of "Tenderness," and how the controversy surrounding "Lady Chatterley" exposed fault lines in 20th-century Western culture that continue to reverberate today.
