Marlene Hauser will be Interviewed by Suzi Feay at Oxford Literary Festival

Debut novelists Alex Reeve and Marlene Hauser discuss their writing and their new novels The House on Half Moon Street and Off-Island. 

Hauser’s Off-Island is the story of wealthy Krista Bourne and her decision whether to continue with a pregnancy. The novel focuses on the emotional pain of abortion and the healing process. Hauser is a writer living in Oxford. She has edited The Writer’s New York City Source Book and has a master of fine arts in creative writing from Columbia University.

Reeves’s The House on Half Moon Street features transgender Victorian coroner’s assistant Leo Stanhope and his efforts to uncover a killer without threatening his own future. Reeve is a university lecturer. His second novel featuring Leo Stanhope, The Anarchists’ Club, is published in May.

Here they talk to journalist and reviewer for the FT Suzi Feay.
