Claire Fuller talks to Alex Clark

Award-winning author Claire Fuller takes us into the addictively propulsive plot of her new novel Hunger and Thirst, sharing her talent for making the ordinary extraordinary, with literary journalist Alex Clark. Decades after a tumultuous experience living in a squat with wild-child Sue, reclusive sculptor Ursula is living under a pseudonym when a true-crime documentary-maker begins digging into an unsolved disappearance. As her past catches up to her present, Ursula must work out whether the monsters are within her or without.

A must-attend event for literature lovers, this is a chance to hear Fuller talk about fictionalising everyday horrors and creating unsettling narratives. Fuller’s novels include the Costa Novel Award-winner Unsettled Ground, and the Desmond Elliott Prize-winning Swimming Lessons.
