No need to get sucked into stuff

It’s very easy to get sucked into stuff. 

In the reality we live in, that’s shown to be the only possible reality, the only way of life, but that’s not true.

It’s just an ideology. That’s all it is. 

Having studied literature and drama at the University of Roehampton Claire-Louise Bennett was soon disillusioned:

It was the first time I really saw proper wealth and I saw inequality and I started to feel that most people were being fobbed off, taken for a bit of a ride and sold a bit of a lie really; oh you just have to work hard and all the rest of it, what a crock of shit that is.

Claire-Louise Bennett is  author of newly published Checkout 19, published by Jonathan Cape.
