U Girl on the radio

This week, Meredith Quartermain was interviewed by Minelle Mahtani on Roundhouse Radio in Vancouver, British Columbia, about her new novel U Girl. Set in Vancouver in the early 1970s, U Girl tells the meta-fictional, feminist story of Frances Nelson, a first-year university student who wants to write a novel.

If you missed the radio spot, you can listen online. You’ll hear a reading from U Girl as well as Quartermain’s thoughts on writing, place, sex and sexual mores, and even fashion.

(And stay tuned to Mahtani’s show, Sense of Place, for a chance to win yourself a copy of U Girl! There will be a giveaway in mid-September …)
