10×10 is a series of 10 minute podcasts with presenter and journalist Rosie Goldsmith commissioned and originally published by the Commonwealth Writers. In each podcast Rosie spends 10 minutes talking to authors from five different parts of the world.
The podcasts include Margaret Atwood from Canada, Jamaica’s Lorna Goodison, Sri Lankan-born writer Romesh Gunesekera and Kenya’s Binyavanga Wainaina. Each podcast features an interview with the author about their life, writing and motivation as well as a reading from their work.
Listen to the podcast with Margaret Atwood, who was also the first star of Fashion & Fiction series at the V&A in March 2015. Photos from the Fashion & Fiction event can be found on Flickr and the film of the event on YouTube.
