s="c1">Presented by West Cork Literary Festival I am the queen of two crowns, banished fifteen years, the famed and folded woman, bad-luck baleful girl, mother of three small animals, now gone. I am fifty-five years old. I am Lear's wife. Exiled to a nunnery, written out of history, Lear's queen was forgotten, until now. Join broadcaster Nadine O'Regan in conversation with Australian-born JR Thorp, writer, lyricist and librettist, to discuss Thorp's stunning debut novel Learwife (Canongate). Winner of the London Short Story Award in 2011 and shortlisted for the BBC Opening Lines Prize, JR Thorp has had work published in the Cambridge Literary Review, Manchester Review, Antithesis, Wave Composition and elsewhere.
