And we're back with another banging author! This time we're joined by Calla Henkel to discuss her debut novel 'Other People's Clothes', a darkly comic novel set in the 00's which deals with death, sexuality and toxic friendships.
We talked to Calla about her inspo behind the novel and the specific reasons for setting this story against a landscape before the onset of mass social media in our lives- everyone's remembers when they removed their battery from their phone right?!
Calla dives in the distinct characterisation of the two friend's in the book and on wanting to give them what they want, even if that outcome may seem perverse. Plus, we dissect the changing obsession people have with true crime and 'dead girl' narratives.
