Ru Freeman: Writing for the 'Lathas' of her childhood (Sunday Times, Columbo)

“Many of my short stories continue to be about people who are usually silent – people in the service industries, janitors, cooks, waiters, doormen – people who observe (and therefore, in my opinion, know things), rather than speak. So yes, it is part of the activism and part of the writing, but that has to do with what interests me rather than my trying to have some kind of agenda with my fiction.”
