Vesna Main is a Croatian-born writer who has lived in London for many years and now splits her time between the UK and rural France.
Her work spans a range of forms, including the short story collection Temptation, the Goldsmiths Prize-shortlisted novel-in-dialogue Good Day?, the autofiction Only A Lodger… And Hardly That, and her most recent novel Waiting for A Party, which features a nonagenarian woman yearning for intimacy in prose that echoes Molly Bloom.
We discussed writing in a second language, her interest in autofiction, and the themes of identity and belonging that run through her work. Vesna also spoke about the feeling of never quite arriving, and why she sees writing as a lifelong act of hope.
