…I was going to say a dancer. Or perhaps a boxer. She was very muscular. Even sitting next to her I had the impression she was strong. But it wasn’t like that. It was more animal like than that.

From Jenn Ashworth’s A Woman Walked Into a Bar, 2016, a Tall Tales commission.

Jenn Ashworth will deliver a recital performance of her new piece, A Woman Walks Into a Bar, at Glasgow Women’s Library for the Tall Tales exhibition launch on 21 October, 5.30pm. This is a free, one off event, with limited capacity, so arrive early and don’t miss out!

Jenn Ashworth was born in 1982 in Preston, Lancashire. In 2009 her first novel, A Kind of Intimacy was published, winning a Betty Trask Award in 2010. On the publication of her second novel, Cold Light, in 2011, she was featured on the BBC’s Culture Show as one of the UK’s 12 best new novelists. The Friday Gospels came out in 2013 with her fourth novel Fell published in July of this year.
