The award-winning writer and feminist talks about her memoirs of the 1970s and beyond
Michèle Roberts is noted for being a radical socialist and feminist, as well as being short-listed for the 1992 Booker Prize with her novel 'Daughters of the House'. In her memoirs published this month, she looks back at her life in the 1970s, a time of social upheaval and new ideas about politics and gender relations. Against a background of communal living, women’s liberation marches, drugs, and straight and gay love affairs, Roberts was determined to avoid a conventional career and family structure and devote herself to writing. She talks to Miriam O’Reilly about her life over the last 30 years and the influences which have shaped her work.
'Paper Houses' by Michèle Roberts is published by Virago, ISBN: 978-1-84408-407-4.
