Interview with Emma Donoghue

22 November 2010 by Nicky

Really pleased to announce our next interview on The Interview Online

This Tuesday we shall be talking to Emma Donoghue who was shortlisted for this year's Man Booker Prize with Room.

 

The novel is an extraordinary story of a young mother, kidnapped for seven years and kept in a shed. What makes the story all the more remarkable is that it's told from the perspective of her five year old son Jack, to whom she gave birth while locked up. Jack has no experience of the world except what he's learnt from the TV and what is in Room. Which to him is real?

Audrey Niffenegger is quoted on the cover "Room is a book to read in one sitting". We didn't quite manage it but wish we could have stopped the world until we had. I'm really looking forward to interviewing the author. She's in Canada so it will have to be "down the line" as we say in the business.

If you've read the book, please do suggest a question or two.
