Constructing A Nervous System: A Memoir
by Margo Jefferson
๐ Winner of the 2023 Rathbones Folio Prize
Margo Jefferson combines criticism and memoir in Constructing a Nervous System. This mirrors what Jefferson said when we interviewed her several years ago “I realised that I needed, in some way, to merge and to keep those two forms in dialogue, interrogating โ as we like to say โ each other. So, I began to think of cultural memoir.” Margo Jefferson on cultural memoirs.
