Part of the 2019 Brontë Festival of Women's Writing
Released in 2016, Amy Liptrot's The Outrun is a searing, exhilarating and brave blend of personal memoir and nature writing. It documents the period she spent coming to terms with addiction as she returned to her home on Orkney at the age of thirty, and her immersion within the harsh beauties of the island's wildlife, coastline and landscape.
In this event, Amy will talk to Cathy Rentzenbrink about the process of writing a memoir, and how she blended autobiography with writing on nature, addiction and mental health to create something both personal and unique.
Event included in Festival Weekend Pass.
