Joanna Biggs on her book A Life of One’s Own, autofiction, and the modern review

This past November, I carried out an interview with Joanna Biggs, contributing editor to the Yale Review. Biggs, born in London and based in New York, formerly an editor at TheLondon Review of Books as well as at Harper’sMagazine, and author of two books (All Day Long: A Portrait of Britain at Work, and A Life of One’s Own: Nine Women Writers Begin Again) is a master of autofiction – narratives that centre around the self.
