Listen to Backstory - 24 July 2019∙∙
Mel chats with Alice Bishop, author of A Constant Hum, a moving collection of vignettes that grapples with the aftermath of the Black Saturday bushfires. As one critic notes, some of the vignettes ‘cut to the bone; others are empathetic tales of survival, even hope’.
Lee Kofman and Romana Koval then join Mel to chat about their new anthology, Split, a collection about loss, leaving and new beginnings.
