Fay Weldon

In late 1980, Fay Weldon and Bill Buford, then editor of this magazine, discussed Granta 1, new American writing and gender politics. (Read a larger version of the letter here.)

The story about ‘women in a black hairdressers’ was written by J. K. Klaven and eventually appeared in Granta 3: ‘The End of the English Novel’.

Fay Weldon is the author of over twenty novels and five collections of short stories. Her most recent novel, The Stepmother’s Diary, is published in hardback by Quercus. She lives in London.
