An Interview with Author Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett

This week, I had the pleasure of talking with author and Guardian Columnist Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett about her latest brilliant novel, Female, Nude. Released on the 12th of February by Tinder Press, it is an exploration of the female gaze, set against a stunning Grecian backdrop. Sophie, an artist, is contemplating her life when she spends time with university friends in the run-up to a wedding. In relation to a study of female self-portraits, she analyses her life, the choices she must make, and what it means to be a woman of a certain age under the pressures of societal expectations. We talked about everything from her inspiration and the research that went into the book to the writing process and her ideas behind the narrative. So, boil your kettle, make a cup of something hot and settle down with the latest episode of Being Bookish. Rhiannon's Links Guardian Column Instagram Buy the book
