My Life In Books with Red Szell

Melissa Albert has won international acclaim as a children’s author, with her books translated into more than 20 languages. Now, drawing on her experience, and a wide range of classic children’s literature, she has ventured into the realms of adult fiction with her novel The Children.
Described by one reviewer as ‘a joyously grim adult fairy tale’, it explores the legacy imposed upon children who were models for characters in books that have become classics of children’s literature, such as A.A. Milne’s son Christopher Robin, and the Llewelyn Davies boys, portrayed as Peter Pan and his Gang of Lost Boys by J.M. Barrie. As well as exploring the human cost of art and celebrity, the novel was inspired by Melissa revisiting some of her favourite childhood books and finding them to be darker than she'd remembered.
Join Melissa and Red as they bite into the poison apple of fame, and explore stories whose protagonists are destined to remain forever young.

Nadia Bozak is a Canadian author and academic known for writing literary fiction that confronts the existential issues looming over us.

In her latest novel, Fret, a frazzled single mother is subjected to the full glare of public scrutiny after her idling car is stolen during a heatwave, with her 3-year-old daughter inside it.

In a sweltering city, she becomes a lightning rod for anger and frustration. Enduring a firestorm of online shaming, the loss of her job, and the removal of her children, events force her to reconcile herself to her troubled past as an indie-rock musician.

Join Nadia and Red as they explore the human cost of climate change, the amplifying effect of social media, and the restorative power of music.
