Author Catherine McKinnon

Bellingen  Writers Festival had such a great line up that we worked non stop over two days recording  15 authors and here’s the first – the wonderful book  by Catherine McKinnon.  So good, it has been shortlisted for this year’s Miles Franklin Award!

Storyland, is set in one place but told by different characters  across history . Catherine chose to read from the last story, which is set in a a not too distant future where the changing  climate has altered the landscape and produced a disaster.

Let’s hear Catherine read this extract first, which starts with someone receiving therapy to recall events.

Over the next few weeks lots of authors reads and interviews to be posted.

As always, if you want to buy the book  clicking on the images will take you to Booktopia ( this helps us stay here!)
