Antigona and Me

Kate Clanchy

• Antigona and Me is about Kate Clanchy’s relationship with a Kosovan refugee; how they differ, and how they’re similar

• Like all her work, it is absolutely honest, and while at its heart it’s a story of friendship across many divides, it also doesn’t minimise the difficulties and the differences between them and their cultures

• Originally published in 2008, there’s a sad contemporary relevance, with an influx of refugees not from Kosovo, but from Ukraine
