Summary: For this month's installment of the Art of Criticism we're delighted to welcome Edmund Gordon, lecturer in literature and creative writing at King's College London and a regular reviewer for a variety of UK publications including the Sunday Times, the London Review of Books and the Times Literary Supplement. His authorised biography of Angela Carter will be published by Chatto & Windus in the UK, and Oxford University Press in the USA, this October. We'll be talking about the relationship between criticism and life-writing, and delving into the usual questions concerning the joys, and tribulations, of writing about other people's writing.
