19. Christina Patterson

This week we're in a converted school in London to meet with author, journalist and broadcaster Christina Patterson. Christina's memoir The Art of Not Falling Apart is a remarkable and moving look at our emotional relationship with work and expectation. As both a book lover and a book reviewer, Christina might hold the record for You're Booked guest with the largest library. We talked to her about sex, death, poetry and Enid Blyton.BOOKS (CLICK ON THE TITLES FOR MORE)Daisy Buchanan - The SisterhoodChristina Patterson - The Art of Not Falling ApartNick Hornby - How To Be GoodEnid Blyton - Malory TowersDH Lawrence - Lady Chatterley’s LoverJilly Cooper - ImogenBarbara Trapido - Brother of the More Famous JackGeorge Eliot - MiddlemarchLaurence Sterne - Tristram ShandyLeo Tolstoy - War and PeaceJames Joyce - Finnegans WakeLeo Tolstoy - Anna KareninaElizabeth Strout - Anything is PossibleElizabeth Strout - My Name is Lucy BartonElizabeth Strout - Olive KitteridgeMiriam Toews - All My Puny SorrowsJonathan Coe - Middle EnglandJonathan Coe - The House of SleepJonathan Coe - What a Carve UpIris Murdoch - Sacred & Profane Love MachineIris Murdoch - The Sea The SeaPatricia Volk - The Art of Being a WomanAL Kennedy - The Little SnakeDoris Lessing - The Golden NotebookDoris Lessing - Martha QuestJohn Burnside - A Summer of DrowningJohn Burnside - The Mercy BoysJohn Burnside - The Locust RoomJohn Burnside - Burning ElvisCandace Bushnell - Sex and the CityCandace Bushnell - 1 Fifth AvenueMary Dearborn - Ernest Hemingway: A BiographyErnest Hemingway - Old Man and The SeaRoland Barthes - Image Music TextVarious - Every Woman’s Book of Health and BeautyNora Ephron - I Remember NothingRaymond Carver - All of UsWendy Cope - Two Cures for LoveJane Austen - Pride and PrejudiceEmily Bronte - Wuthering Heights Hosted on Acast.
