🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Joanna Kavenna
She has held writing fellowships at Oxford, St John’s College, Cambridge, and St Antony’s. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, London Review of Books, and The New Yorker. When she was five years old, she wrote a poem called “A cat is a cat is a cat”, which was an accidental homage to Gertrude Stein. One of her first novels was composed entirely in a mercilessly and invented guttural language, and had a glossary supplied for the ostensible “reader” at the back of the book. This book obviously did not reach a wide audience. Joanna actually wrote seven novels before getting published. She admits that this is due to nobody wanting to publish them, and says they were written during the ages of eighteen to 26, a prolific yet ghastly time for her.
