Fear

Author Rebekah Robertson joins Jamila Rizvi and Astrid Edwards to discuss fear in life and literature. 

• Introduction: Why do we choose to be afraid when we read? And what does that mean for an author who writes their own experience of fear, or of others being somehow afraid of them?
• Chapter 1: Rebekah Robertson discusses About A Girl, her work chronicling her transgender daughter’s experience growing up in Australia.
• Chapter 2: See What You Made Me Do: Power, Control and Domestic Abuse by Jess Hill.
• Chapter 3: Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks.
• Recommendations: Astrid gets (too) excited about pandemic and dystopian literature and recommends The Trespassers by Meg Mundell, The Stand by Stephen King (the uncut edition) and The Road by Cormac McCarthy.
