Susan Linda Margolis (née Wener; 5 January 1955 – 1 November 2017) was an English novelist. She is best known for Neurotica (1998) and Apocalipstick (2003).[1]
Personal lifeedit
She was the elder daughter of Donald Wener, an Inland Revenue tax inspector from East Ham[2] who had served in the RAF, and Audrey (née Dixon), a bank clerk and former nurse; her younger sister was Louise Wener, musician (with Sleeper) and writer. Her brother Geoff attended Cambridge and managed Sleeper.[2] She failed the eleven-plus exam, going on to a secondary modern school, but due to the encouragement of her parents passed the 13-plus exam and attended grammar school, followed by the University of Nottingham, where she read politics.[2] She trained as a junior school teacher, undertaking practice at a Church of England school at Headingley,[2] but due to a hiring freeze in Leeds went to work for the BBC alongside her husband, Jonathan Margolis, now an author and journalist with the Financial Times, whom she married in 1976.[1] Having been appointed the programme's Yorkshire correspondent, Margolis worked on Woman's Hour until the 1990s, following which she produced Neurotica and continued her writing career.
