About
Jacqueline Maley in conversation with Nicole Abadee.
Jacqueline, noted columnist at the Sydney Morning Herald, joins us to share her clever, tender and vivid novel about women: their bodies, their appetites, and their place in the world.
'Lonely mouth is a Japanese expression. It means, you feel like you want to eat something, but you don't know what it is...Maybe there is no right thing. Maybe you don't need anything at all.'
"Maley’s prose is clean and rhythmic . . Her emotional register is dynamic – sliding effortlessly between satire, sorrow, drawing out universal truths of longing and shame...." The Australian.
