A.L. Kennedy – Alison Louise Kennedy – is a writer of serious, often dark, fiction who is also a stand-up comedian and, possibly linking the two, a columnist on Brexit for a German newspaper.
The typical Kennedy character, male or female, is usually uncomprehending, deep in pain, and adrift in a purposeless world. Her writing is characterized by bleak humour, an intense lyricism, political awareness, and, increasingly, a preoccupation with derangement and sexual obsession.
