Unsound Methods 12: Eimear McBride & Noémi Lefebvre

The latest episode of Unsound Methods is out. Recorded at the Beyond Words Festival at the Institut Francais on 17th May 2018.

We sat down with Noémi Lefebvre, the author of ‘Blue Self-Portrait’ (available from Les Fugitives) and Eimear McBride, author of ‘A Girl is a Half-Formed Thing’ (Galley Beggar Press/Faber) and ‘The Lesser Bohemians’ (Faber).

It was hot, and there was a lot of noise in the street, so the sound is not 100%, but we found it very interesting to speak to both writers about the similarities and differences in their approaches.

We caught Noémi and Eimear just before they went on stage, so this is a brief chat. At times Noémi preferred to speak in French, so we have included the translations from her interpreter Axelle Oxborrow in this audio. The Institut Francais have kindly shared the audio of the event that followed, which we have put out as a bonus episode.

Thanks to: Nicci Praca, Cecile Menon, Sophie Lewis (who hosted the event), Axelle Oxborrow (translation) and Lucie Campos.
