Isabel Waidner is a writer and critical theorist who has published two works of fiction with Manchester-based independent publisher Dostoyevsky Wannabe, edited an anthology of exploratory queer literature entitled Liberating the Canon, and who - with artist Richard Porter of Pilot Press (https://pilotpress.tumblr.com) - curates the Queers Read This series at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts. This week, new Suite (212) co-host Lara Alonso Corona asks Isabel about queer and working-class representation in 'experimental' writing, how useful such labels are, and what queer authors can take from a modernist canon that is largely white, male, cisgender, heterosexual and middle-class.
