Presented as part of Durham Book Festival
The Working Class Library is a podcast from The Bee, a new platform for working-class writers, produced by New Writing North. In this episode, writer and editor of The Bee, Richard Benson and CEO of New Writing North, Claire Malcolm, are joined by writer and editor, Terri White, author of Coming Undone, to discuss a book and whether it deserves to have a place on the shelves of the imaginary working-class library.
In a special live podcast for Durham Book Festival, they will discuss Catherine Cookson. A writer born in South Shields in 1906, Cookson published her first novel aged 44 and went on to sell over 120 million books around the world but her private life was riddled with unhappiness, abuse and illness. Join this special event to discuss her extraordinary career and life.
