One of America's most honoured and prolific authors discusses her new work
Reading one of her novels is - according to one critic "...like becoming a peeping tom, staring without guilt into the bright living rooms and dark hearts of America".
She'll be talking about two of her most recent books which are both set against the backdrop of Niagara Falls, where she grew up.
They both deal with the desecration of natural beauty, in one case a violent gang rape witnessed by the victim's daughter, in the other industrial pollution.
