Kathryn Sutherland

Kathryn Sutherland, a Senior Research Fellow at St. Anne's College, Oxford, shares fascinating insights from her book, which explores Jane Austen through the lens of 41 objects that shaped her life. They discuss how these objects debunk sanitized family narratives about Austen and the significance of her social class and possessions. Additionally, they delve into the origins and global impact of Gabriel García Márquez's '100 Years of Solitude', examining its role in the magical realism genre and its influence on writers like Salman Rushdie.
