It was her own choice to try and finish writing a novel in the USA, but AL Kennedy wasn't prepared for the warmth of the reception she met on a slow train across to California.
Novelist and stand-up performer AL Kennedy relates some of the hapless events that befell her whilst trying to complete her latest book in the USA. Secreted away in a wooden cabin in deepest Connecticut, she finds that she has to contend with noisy woodpeckers that mistake her temporary home for a tasty tree. Later, upon returning to the States from Canada by train, she encounters suspicious US immigration officials who struggle to grasp the fact that she doesn't fly, and arrived in the States by boat.
Producer: Mark Smalley.
