They are casually dispatched - some messages are barley more than a signature - but often the more pungent for that. They catch Angela on the wing, shooting off her mouth.' Angela Carter was the author of such tour de force novels as 'Wise Children' and 'Nights at The Circus'. Since her death twenty years ago, nothing that amounts to a biography has been written about her. Susannah Clapp, her great friend and literary executor, has not written a biography but has brought these postcards to life - Living Doll, Flickerings, Twin Peaks, Chilli - to paint a vivid picture of the novelist at work and at home in London, and also on her earlier travels in America and Japan. Susannah Clapp reads from her account of Angela Carter, the dazzling novelist who died twenty years ago. Carter's postcard entries are read by Claire Skinner and the series abridger is Katrin Williams. Producer Duncan Minshull. A portrait of the author Angela Carter via a series of postcards she sent to a friend. |
