Fay Weldon reads from her novel Mantrapped and talks about its structure, which combines elements of memoir and autobiography with the novel form. She then answers questions from the audience on the changing relationship between fiction and reality, how she became a writer, her approach to writing children's literature, publishing a novel, and the difference between writing a novel and writing for film.
