Siri Hustvedt with Elif Shafak (2017 Event)

From Dickens to Vermeer and psychoanalysis to neuroscience, Siri
Hustvedt is a writer of remarkable range and insight. In this
event, recorded live at the 2017 Edinburgh International Book
Festival, she talks to acclaimed Turkish novelist and writer Elif
Shafak about the self, bodily experience and the role of women in
public intellectual life. Both writers include novels as well as
non-fiction in their oeuvre, and both are fascinated by the power
of fiction to identify deeper truths.
