'Woman and Home' Joanna Walsh in conversation with Deborah Levy

"There was a time in my life when I lived in hotels. Around this time, the time I did not spend in hotels was time I did not live. During this other time I haunted a marriage I was soon to leave. There’s no place like home and, as home seemed hardly to qualify as a place any more, I began to look for something elsewhere..." Joanna Walsh - Hotel "Each new journey is a mourning for what has been left behind. The wanderer sometimes tries to recreate what has been left behind, in a new place. This always fails." Deborah Levy - Swallowing Geography Can anyone, nowadays, live in a Hotel, a place where the heimlich of home meets the unheimlich of elsewhere? And, if they can't what's the alternative to this alternative to home? To mark the publication of her memoir, Hotel, join its author, Joanna Walsh, and Booker-shortlisted writer Deborah Levy, in Freud's last home to discuss belonging and exile, therapy, women and homes, as well as Freud's influence on their work. An excerpt from Hotel can be read at Granta Magazine.
