This year's Stella Prize winner, Theory & Practice by Michelle de Kretser intrigued me enough I wanted to make an episode about it. More than that, I wanted to have a conversation with someone about it. Which gave me the opportunity to get in touch with Stephanie, who makes Cool People Reading, a new Australian books podcast I've really enjoyed.
And so in this episode you'll be finding out a bit about the Stella, the winning book, and Stephanie's recommendations for other Australian authors you might want to try.
Do add your own recommendations in the comments, I'd love to hear them.
