9: Eimear McBride

In this episode, Chris talks to the brilliant Eimear McBride. Eimear talks here about her two novels, A Girl is a Half-formed Thing and The Lesser Bohemians as well as other projects she has been working on, including her work as the Inaugural Creative Fellow at The Samuel Beckett Research Centre. Eimear discusses adaptations of her work, in particular, the performance of Aoife Duffin in the stage adaptation of A Girl is a Half-formed Thing. She discusses how she edited The Lesser Bohemians from an eight-hundred page first draft to the final novel and tells us about a novella that she recently wrote while taking a break from a larger project.
