About this Event
Join celebrated author of Ghost Wall, Summerwater and The Fell Sarah Moss as she discusses her new book My Good Bright Wolf – a memoir about thinking and reading, eating and not eating, about privilege and scarcity, about the relationships that form us and the long tentacles of childhood.
Praise for My Good Bright Wolf:
‘I've never read anything quite like My Good Bright Wolf. Part memoir, part confessional, part dark and feverish fairytale, Moss explores her subject matter with characteristic attentiveness and unflinching honesty. This book invites the reader to step into the narrator's oftentimes uncomfortable shoes and, in doing so, confront what it means to be a woman, an artist, a human being, trying to find a way to be.’
- Jan Carson, author of The Raptures
Sarah Moss was born in Glasgow and grew up in the north of England. After moving between Oxford, Canterbury, Reykjavik and West Cornwall, she now lives in the Midlands and is Professor of Creative Writing at the University of Warwick. She is the author of several novels including Summerwater, Bodies of Light (shortlisted for the Wellcome Book Prize), Tidal Zone (shortlisted for the Wellcome Book Prize), Ghost Wall (shortlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction in 2019), and The Fell. In 2013, her memoir of her year living in Iceland Names for the Sea was shortlisted for the RSL Ondaatje Prize. Her new memoir My Good Bright Wolf is a scalpel-sharp book of girlhood and young womanhood and how Moss was tormented by the conflicting aspirations and expectations imposed upon her.
