A L Kennedy (2010 event)
At the 2010 Book Festival award-winning author A L Kennedy read exclusive extracts from her forthcoming 2011 novel before opening the floor to the audience, which turned out to be an amusing Q & A. Her funny, wry sense of humour is very much in evidence in this live recording as she chats to the audience and tells all about her imaginary childhood 'hand' friend. You can see A L Kennedy's new short story on the theme of 'Elsewhere' (commissioned by the Book Festival) exclusively here: Because it’s a Wednesday.
