Kerry Hudson – Literary Salon – October 2019

October 30, 2019 00:31:54

Kerry Hudson attended nine primary schools and five secondaries living in B&B’s and council flats as she and her mum were forced to move again and again by poverty. Now Kerry is a rightly acclaimed novelist, activist and columnist and her life is unrecognisable. But how did she get from there to here and is her journey complete? What of the places she left?
Listen to her incredible conversation with Damian Barr and her readings from Lowborn, a memoir like no other and essential for our times.

Recorded at Damian Barr’s Literary Salon at The Savoy, 18th October 2019.
