A K Blakemore & Flora Carr: From Renown to Revulsion

In their latest titles, A K Blakemore, Desmond Elliot Prize-winning writer of The Glutton, and Flora Carr, The Tower, take an almost unbearably intimate look at the lives of two real-life figures in forced confinement, the alleged cannibal Frenchman Tarare, and the tragic and iconic Mary Queen of Scots. In conversation with Sasha de Buyl, they explore the impact of what happens when figures once celebrated by society become reviled.
