SUMMARY:Julia Blackburn
DESCRIPTION:Julia Blackburn joins us to discuss Threads\, a beautifully il
 lustrated account of the search for an undiscovered genius\, the Norfolk
  fisherman John Craske who became an artist after a serious illness left
  him too ill to go to sea. Julia Blackburn’s account of his life is far
  from a conventional biography. Threads is a book about life and death
  and the strange country between the two where John Craske seemed to live.
  It is also about life after death\, as Julia's beloved husband Herman\, a
  vivid presence in the early pages of the book\, dies before it is finishe
 d. In a gentle meditation on art and fame\; on the nature of time and the 
 fact of mortality\; and illustrated with Craske's paintings and embroideri
 es\, Threads shows\, yet again\, that Julia Blackburn can conjure a magic 
 that is spellbinding and utterly her own.\n\nJulia Blackburn has written s
 ix books of non-fiction\, a family memoir\, The Three of Us\, which won th
 e 2009 J.R. Ackerley Award\, and two novels\, The Book of Colour and The L
 eper’s Companions\, both of which were shortlisted for the Orange Prize.
  She lives in Suffolk and Italy.\n\nChaired by Catherine Larner.
