In the second instalment of 'My Hero', we hear from a number of RLF writers about their personal heroes, and how those heroes have had an impact on their lives and their writing.
Alicia Foster speaks with Catherine O’Flynn about her unusual childhood in an isolated former nursing home, growing up goth, her twin passions of visual art and literature, and accidentally becoming a novelist after being an academic.
Sarah Ardizzone speaks with Ann Morgan about the influence of performance on writing, the additional complications of translating graphic novels, and the need for what she calls ‘translation activism’.
