London itself feels like a character within itself, almost. And you write very lovingly about certain parts of London, particularly Brixton. So before we talk about that a bit more, I feel like I've got this red object glinting at me. It feels that it's time for the phone box, your first object, which some may say is a symbol of London - although it has disappeared a little bit from our streets. But it's a miniature red London telephone box. My mum acquires these objects from, I never know where she gets them from, but she just gave me this miniature London phone box one day. and it really spoke to me because it is so indicative
Bestselling author Diana Evans (‘26a’, ‘The Wonder’) is the perfect guest for this podcast. She tells Katy how objects are an integral part of her writing process and brings some along including a mini London telephone box and her trusty sketchbook. Diana also chats about her new award-winning novel ‘Ordinary People’ which was one of the New Yorker’s books of the year. #PenguinPodcast #InspirationalObjects
