A.L.Kennedy
Wednesday January 17
The Black Box,1.00pm (50 mins)
Considered one of Scotland’s national treasures, A.L.Kennedy has six awards under her belt, and a list of fans that includes Salman Rushdie, Richard Ford, A.S.Byatt, and Jonathan Coe.
Kennedy has established herself as a writer of startling originality and invention, who brings an element of surprise to themes of isolation, emotional destitution, passion, perversion, and true love.
Performing as a stand-up at Edinburgh this year, Kennedy mused on the hazards of the writing life; Pot Noodle, internal examinations, Blair, semi-colons, back-ache, perversion, Microsoft, paranoia, decomposition.
“Like watching a mid-life crisis, but without the carefree sex and red cars.”
