Take Four Books: Jenni Fagan

On BBC Sounds: Jenni Fagan tells presenter James Crawford about her new novel, The Delusions, in which she takes readers to the afterlife – or, at least, to its anteroom. Jenni’s three chosen influences are Nina Cassian’s poem “Temptation” (1966), Mary Shelley’s FRANKENSTEIN (1818), & Jeanette Winterson’s WEIGHT (2005)

Jess Walter and Jenni Fagan both deserve a hell of a lot more respect here on the East Coast. I'm filling in my Walter reading gaps and I'm just amazed by how much subtext he manages to sustain on any given page. And Jenni Fagan? The Scottish emo punk I didn't know I needed right now. THE PANOPTICON is very much rocking my world.

Read both of these great authors. You won't be sorry.

There were times when Fagan stopped speaking, partly due to trauma and partly as an act of protest. “But when I wrote my first poem, I could see my voice, not what anybody else was saying about me, but my own voice, and I could come back later on and it would still be there. I have written pretty much every day since.”

Me, the outsider. Jenni Fagan on care, and a message of hope
