Talking Aussie Books with Paul Dalgarno
Episode description
Listeners, a couple of weeks ago I was at the annual Bellingen Readers and Writers Festival and had the joy of interviewing an author whose career I have been watching for a few years now.
And recently, I got to do it all over again.
Paul Dalgarno is a Melbourne-based author of two novels and two non-fiction titles.
Born and raised in Scotland, Paul has lived in Australia since 2010 and has written for a variety of publications including The Guardian, Big Issue Scotland and Australian Book Review.
Paul has worked as deputy editor of The Conversation Australia and features editor for The Herald Newspaper Group in the UK.
Earlier this year, Paul’s second novel ‘A Country of Eternal Light’ was published by HarperCollins. And listeners, what a novel it is!
A wonderfully perceptive, witty and brilliantly crafted examination of grief, which left me marvelling at Paul’s immense talent.
A must-listen episode for writers and readers alike!
