Sanya Rushdi joins the show to talk restlessness, nuance and the power of language in her debut novel Hospital: a lucid and unflinching account of psychosis and hospitalisation in Australia, inspired by her own lived experience.
Plus, from surfing dogs to bookish birthday parties, Mel gets the lowdown on the 20th annual Willy Lit Fest with Program Director, Emily Westmoreland.
About this program

LITERATI GLITTERATI SALON: A MONTHLY BOOK CLUB
Join Mel and a rotating roster of bookish conversationalists as they unpack Literati Glitterati’s book of the month.
Expect a spiriting assortment of cult classics, forgotten wonders, timeless treasures, zesty new releases and pulp fictions wrestled straight from the zeitgeist by Mel herself.
Each book will be announced a month out from the special, so that you can read along at home. On the last Wednesday of every month, tune into Literati Glitterati from midday till 1pm with your thoughts and feelings ready: we’ll be taking questions through the text line.
