New job!! Delighted to report that today I start a fixed-term full-time contract as a lecturer in RMIT’s well-regarded Master of Writing and Publishing. I’m excited to work with Tracy O’Shaughnessy, Rose Michael & others, and look forward to meeting the students. With my small research component I will continue my work on sustainability in the Aus book industry 😊📚🌳
Pizza Girl 🍕 by Jean Kyoung Frazier. Gobbled this up. A young, pregnant pizza girl is drawn to an older woman who orders a pepperoni with pickles for her son. It’s a book about a young woman coping with overwhelming change & responsibility before she’s really had a chance to decide what her life might look like. She’s cared for and cared about but she has an undeniable drive toward escapism, toward more or something *else*, and it’s somewhere between an urge to destroy and one to nurture. The presence of her alcoholic father, now dead, looms large. It’s tightly written, a sympathetic and satisfying read.
