In Writing with Hattie Crisell

S6 Ep60: Posy Simmonds, cartoonist and graphic novelist


Listen Later

This week I'm in the London home of artist and writer Posy Simmonds. From the 1970s onwards, Posy had a regular comic strip in The Guardian, where she wrote Mrs Weber's Diary and later serialised the graphic novel Tamara Drewe. She went on to publish two more graphic novels, Gemma Bovery and Cassandra Darke. Earlier this year, she had a major exhibition at the Pompidou Centre in Paris, and became the first British artist to win the Grand Prix at France’s Angoulême International Comics Festival.

Here are some of Posy's books: https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/in-writing
