I Want to Talk to You

I Want to Talk to You Synopsis

As a young magazine intern, Diana Evans was catapulted overnight into the role of culture editor, and so began her career as a journalist, writing about musicians, dancers and artists, interviewing the likes of Viola Davis, Alice Walker and Edward Enninful. In these portraits of contemporary icons, the author herself remains distant - always the observer. Alongside them, in essays and pieces collected here for the first time, we see her turning the lens on herself. Crafted over twenty-five years, with the intelligence and sensitivity for which Diana Evans is celebrated, 'I Want to Talk to You' invites you into a conversation about literature, art, identity, and everything in between.
