In conversation with London-based author Olivia Sudjic. After graduating from Cambridge, Sudjic’s debut novel, Sympathy, was published in 2017 to wide critical acclaim. She has since published a long-form essay titled Exposure, tackling surveillance and anxiety in an online era, and the personal scrutiny that female authors in particular are subjected to. Her latest novel is Asylum Road – we were lucky enough to speak to her on the day of its publication. We talk about un-learning university essay-writing habits, staying sane while writing, and social media.
