The Secret Life of Writers by Tablo

Leanne Shapton on where it all began, jealousy and ghosts, living in New York as a writer and artist, and the weirdest book so far.

54 min • 17 juni 2020

Leanne is an extraordinary artist and writer. She is the author of 'Was She Pretty' which looks at jealousy and how we fixate on our partner’s exes; 'Artifacts and Personal Property from the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris, Including Books, Street Fashion, and Jewelry' which tells the demise of a relationship in a way no one else would think of; 'Native Trees of Canada'; 'Swimming Studies' which won the National Book Critic's Circle Award Award; and 'Women in Clothes' that Leanne wrote with Sheila Heti and Heidi Julavits. Her latest is 'Guestbook', a book about ghosts that isn’t just about ghosts. Leanne’s also written a picture book called 'Toys Talking', and she’s done many other things – art director of the New York Times op ed page, cover designer, co-founder of the publisher J&L Books and judge of The Booker Prize. And she’s a mum to Tomasina. Leanne’s Canadian but has lived in New York for many years.
