The Observer journalist is renowned for a robust interviewing style which has earned her the moniker 'Demon Barber' – she once asked Harriet Harman why people thought she was thick. Yet Lynn has also written her share of glowing portraits of the famous – Jarvis Cocker and Shane MacGowan amongst them. But for Woman’s Hour, she swaps roles and talks to Jane Garvey about her new memoir of a life and career that, despite its ups and downs, has never been dull.
'An Education' by Lynn Barber is published by Penguin, ISBN: 978-0141039558
