Kirstin Innes (2015 Event)
Winner of the Guardian’s Not the Booker prize, Kirstin Innes’ bittersweet debut, Fishnet takes us deep into the world of sex workers, tracing one woman’s obsessive quest for answers following her sister’s mysterious disappearance. Kirstin speaks to Kate Tough about the research that went into the book, and giving women who work in the sex trade a voice, often unheard in literature. Recorded live at the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
