Meena Kandasamy – Cheltenham Literature Festival

The contrast between grand state-of-the- nation novels and those centred on the domestic sphere dealing with families, marriages and parenting is often a stark one. In these turbulent times, can novelists afford to write ‘small’? Or doesn’t all politics start with the personal? Festival Guest Curator and novelist Tessa Hadley (Late in the Day) is joined by writers Meena Kandasamy (Exquisite Cadavers) and Alex Pheby (Lucia) to discuss.
