الملخص:The following is an edited version of an interview with Lucy Caldwell conducted on October 17th, 2024 during the conference on the (neo-)historical in British literature and visual arts (20th-21st centuries), held at the university de Caen Normandie (France). This interview focuses on the genesis and circumstances of writing of These days, winner of the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction in 2024. It gives insight into Caldwell’s sense of responsibility and impression of temporal and emotional superposition when writing historical fiction as well as her approach to style and narration in this novel but also in her stories.
