“The best I can do is to try and observe how class, as a very broad social structure, impacts our personal and intimate lives.”
To what extent can a writer accommodate an economic and social philosophy to a novel? The Irish literary sensation Sally Rooney, who thinks about the world through “a sort of Marxist framework,” here talks about writing about social class and the novel as a commodity.
Sally Rooney was interviewed by Kathrine Tschemerinsky at the Louisiana Literature festival at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark, in August 2018.
