Gerda Stevenson (2018 Event)
In histories written by men, good women have rarely been given much credit. In Scotland, there’s a growing urge to redress the balance and, with her new collection Quines, Gerda Stevenson has produced a very necessary corrective.

In this event, recorded live at the 2018 Edinburgh International Book Festival, she discusses the collection with Jackie McGlone.
