Talking Aussie Books with Courtney Collins
Manage episode 432409189 series 2446858
Courtney Collins is an accomplished author screenwriter producer and podcaster.
Her first novel, 'The Burial' was published back in 2012 in ten countries and shortlisted for multiple prizes - including the NSW Premiers Literary award and the Stella Prize.
Courtney’s second novel, ‘Bird’ has just been released by Hachette Australia.
To say that this is a novel like no other I’ve read would be an understatement. It’s other worldly and yet so real in its exploration of themes that include misogyny and exploitation of women.
Set between the Himalayas in an unspecified time period and Darwin in the present day, 'Bird' follows the story of a young girl who is determined to live life on her own terms.
It’s a story of resilience, hope and above all - a story about connection.
I was delighted to chat with Courtney recently about this wonderful novel.
