J R Thorp's Learwife
Episode 1, Nov 24, 2021, 12:17 PM
On the first episode of The Critic Books podcast, Francesca Peacock speaks to J.R Thorp - a librettist and novelist whose debut novel Learwife was published on November the 4th. Learwife imagines the life of King Lear's broadly unmentioned Queen. The novel is set just after the end of Shakespeare's play; in the aftermath of war, what follows is a haunting tale of loss, power, and memory.
