RHLSTP Book Club 176 - Emma Jane Unsworth

RHLSTP Book Club #176 - Slags - Rich talks to author and screenwriter Emma Jane Unsworth about her newest novel, Slags, a tale of teenagers, sisters and secrets. They chat about writing about the 1990s and the changes in sexual mores and social media judgement that made our lives both harder and easier, writing about serious subjects in a very funny book, using teenage diaries and poetry for inspiration, using real-life details in fiction, why Emma went for this bold title and how doing an MA in Creative Writing helped her at the start of her career. Also her dad’s resolution not to use the portaloos at the Also Festival and Emma’s forthcoming appearance there and what age constitutes middle-age (I don’t think Rich can pretend any longer - or might be beyond it).Buy the book here https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/slags-emma-jane-unsworth/0b2e7f200de66d89See details of the Also festival here https://www.also-festival.com/SUPPORT THE SHOW!See details of the RHLSTP LIVE DATES Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPE Hosted on Acast.
