In this episode, our host Jess talks with author Cathleen Davies about her identity as a writer, her advice as a creative writing lecturer and her memoir And, Marvel. We follow the heartbreaking timeline from the death of DC, Cathleen’s former partner, to her time in the Basque Country writing her memoir, what it was like to write this book and how it came to be published.
Just a quick note, this episode includes quite a few references to suicide and mental illness. If this is not for you, we totally understand, there are plenty of other lovely episodes on the Femme On channel you can try out instead.
