About this listen
Listening to Shaking a Leg is like spending time with the funniest, wisest friend you've ever had - a person whose breadth of interest ranges from food to feminism to science fiction and everything in between; a person with an entirely unpredictable train of thought but whose exuberance, knowledge and insight sweeps you along.
Bursting with ideas, culturally astute and sparklingly witty, this comprehensive volume of Angela Carter's journalism is the most down-to-earth and entertaining companion to latter 20th-century thought you'll ever need.
©1997 Angela Carter (P)2018 Audible, LtdThe content is a very varied collection of book reviews and essays and views on other literature related topics. As you can see from running time it is bit of a marathon, best broken up into smaller bites.
I intend to seek out some of Carter's own fiction now to understand more of her own talent.
Very enjoyable. What a smart woman.

Of course, some of the pieces connected with me more than others, as is to be expected with a collection of this length. Nevertheless, I am grateful for Carter’s profligacy. I find myself wondering how her sharp eye would have dissected today’s cultural landscape. Oh, the absurdities she would have relished...
Nibble by nibble - this book took me a year and a half
