If you’d like to support me, it’d be ace if you picked up a copy of my novels, THE HONOURS, & the new sequel THE ICE HOUSE. Lowborn by Kerry Hudson is published by Chatto & Windus. TONY HOGAN BOUGHT ME AN ICE CREAM FLOAT BEFORE HE STOLE MY MA.

She revisits the towns she grew up in to try to discover what being poor really means in Britain today and whether anything has changed. If you’d like to check out Kerry’s work, why not grab a copy of LOWBORN. Lowborn is Kerrys exploration of where she came from. – what if I can’t find any books out there like what I want to write? This is a great episode to listen to if you want to know: She talks about how she came to writing – what seemed like – late in life, writing through trauma, and her experiences of feeling like an outsider in the predominantly upper-middle-class publishing industry. I chat with Kerry Hudson about her memoir LOWBORN, about class and growing up in poverty, and her novels THIRST and TONY HOGAN BOUGHT ME AN ICE CREAM FLOAT BEFORE HE STOLE MY MA. This is a live episode from Latitude festival, with me chatting to author Kerry Hudson.
