{"product_id":"9781781725221","title":"Just You and the Page : Encounters with Twelve Writers by Sue Gee","description":"Just You and the Page opens in 1971, with the dramatist Michael Wall hammering out his plays on a portable typewriter. It concludes in 2020, when the novelist and academic Josie Barnard is teaching students to compose novels on Instagram. Between them are Booker prize winners; a poet whose life was changed by a profound religious conversion; a translator for whom Pushkin has meant everything; a distinguished environmental journalist; a famous diarist; a nature writer who restored a wood, and a political activist who fled her country and is writing now in exile.  Sue Gee has interviewed twelve distinctively different writers, all old friends, looking at what has shaped them; at struggle, inspiration and dedication to their art. Part memoir, part literary biography, published in extraordinary times, Just You and the Page is above all about resilience.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43206220251314,"sku":"9781781725221","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/products\/9781781725221_01620753-3c03-4c82-84e4-ffa8bbb4960b.jpg?v=1705396499","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781781725221","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
