Exploring the unique literary scene on a tiny island at the edge of the world...


When it comes to books, book festivals, and literary affairs in general, much of the focus is on writers, so this episode hands the baton firmly back to readers, with Em, Kat and Megan of The Woman Booker Prize Club.


We look at the connections between reading and friendship, refute gender-biased genres (chick lit anyone?!), consider the challenge of reading the 'real' Booker Prize long-list, and discuss our life-changing stories. We also look at the disturbingly low reading statistics for boys and men, brainstorm a few ideas for how to improve this, and explore the possibilities for more lit socials here in Nipaluna/Hobart, including literary speed-dating and throwing a book doof.... Yes, really.


Running with the Booker theme, Liz and Kate weigh up the benefits of writing competitions for our Topical Chat, and Adele of Fuller's Bookshop recommends local author Mary-Lou Stephens' The Hobart Hotel, and After the Siren by Melbourne's Darcy Green for this episode's Cities of Lit Book Picks.
