Tenderness - Alison MacLeod with Bill Goldstein 

At a time of heated divisions about freedom of expression, Alison MacLeod’s novel Tenderness, D.H. Lawrence’s original title for Lady Chatterley’s Lover, could not be more timely. Through the story of Lawrence’s writing of his last novel and the subsequent obscenity trials in England and America (J. Edgar Hoover tried to remove the book from circulation), Alison MacLeod evokes the author’s final years and the eventual recognition of a literary masterpiece. In conversation with Bill Goldstein, author of The World Broke in Two. Recorded November 11, 2021
