Rose George was at the Edinburgh Book Festival today discussing and reading from her latest book, Nine Pints. As is often the case with these sort of things, there was time left at the end for the audience to ask questions. It's funny the things people want to focus on during these times - especially when you have all the questions in the world open to you, and a huge topic like blood that you can take in so many directions, what insightful, searching question do you ask? (And always, with double the number of words that it should require.) Of course, you query whether the author is wearing red trousers because they are talking about blood? Part of me wonders if this was asked because she was a woman. As she pointed out, the male host was also wearing red too, just darker. Something that the audience member had completely failed to observe.
