2530: Miranda Seymour

Miranda Seymour, celebrated as a biographer, novelist, memoir writer and critic, has been a visiting professor at Nottingham Trent University. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts as well as a Royal Literary Fund Fellow, and the author of the award-winning memoir, In My Father’s House. Her many acclaimed biographies include: A Ring of Conspirators, an innovative study of Henry James and his literary circle; Ottoline Morrell: Life on a Grand Scale; Robert Graves: Life on the Edge; Mary Shelley; In Byron’s Wake, The Bugatti Queen and I Used to Live Here Once: The Haunted Life of Jean Rhys. Today is a very exciting show for me as I have the opportunity to speak with, Miranda Seymour, the author of my favorite book, the “Bugatti Queen,” who writes the story of one of my favorite racers, Helle Nice. I have asked Mark Greene, the founder of Cars Yeah to co-host with me today.
