Rosa Rankin-Gee - You're Booked
This week we are delighted to welcome the fabulous (and partly Thanet based) Rosa Rankin-Gee to the podcast! Rosa is the author of the critically acclaimed The Last King of Sark and the recent blockbuster Dreamland. You can also read her work in The Paris Review, Esquire, Vogue, The Guardian, The New Yorker and many more. We talked to her about growing up in a literary family, the formative power of Adrian Mole and Louise Rennison, the pros and cons of communal reading and using poetry (and emojis) to court your beau. Find out more about the books mentioned on the episode by visiting our bookshop.org shop. Sign up for the You're Booked newsletter by heading to: FurtherReading.Substack.com
