Lisa Taddeo on Three Women, grief and exploring darkness in fiction
I'm so, so excited for you to hear today's episode. Lisa Taddeo is a phenomenon. She shot to fame as the author of Three Women, which covers the sexual and emotional lives of three women from different backgrounds and regions of the United States. It was described as 'groundbreaking', 'seminal' and having created a whole new genre. Now she has written a novel, Animal, a gripping and often dark story of rage, power, control and abuse. I absolutely loved talking to her - she was totally fascinating, opening up on everything from the profound grief she felt after the death of her parents, to how she kept persisting with Three Women, even as the time it took stretched way beyond her initial contract to eight years. I couldn't ask for a more interesting interviewee - I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
