Deborah Levy and Shahidha Bari: Real Estate

13 May 2021

7.00 pm

Deborah Levy will discuss the third part of her ‘living autobiography’ Real Estate with Shahidha Bari

About this Event

Deborah Levy completes her ‘Living Autobiography’ trilogy – the first two volumes, Things I Don’t Want to Know and The Cost of Living, won the Prix Femina Etranger in 2020 – with Real Estate, (Hamish Hamilton), a profound meditation on the things, both physical and psychological, that a woman might own. Levy herself writes ‘It was as if the search for Home was the point, but if I acquired it and the chase was over, there would be no more branches to put in the fire.’

She will be in conversation about her work with Shahidha Bari, academic, critic, radio presenter and Professor of Fashion Cultures and Histories at London College of Fashion.
