The monthly Literati Glitterati Salon returns for its final instalment for 2024 to discuss autobiographical novel Family Lexicon by Natalia Ginzburg about life, language, and family in Italy from the 1920s to the 50s. Mel Fulton speaks to writer and editor Hilary McPhee, collection manager and multidisciplinary artist Marita Dyson, and writer Raeden Richardson on how Ginzburg uses words to create a family bonded by phrases and how the book explores the dysfunction and isolation of family, language, and identity with much humor and affection.

Women and Children First by Alina Grabowski & Raging Grace: Australian Writers Speak Out on Disability by Andy Jackson

Alina Grabowski dials in to talk all about her latest book, Women and Children First, set in a fictional town in Massachusetts. It’s a burnt-out coastal town where the residents are confronted by the death of a young woman at a house party, and the novel is told through the voices of women in the community as they work through their grief and try to get to the bottom of what happened. Poet Andy Jackson joins Mel to talk about his collaborative project Raging Grace: Australian Writers Speak Out on Disability. Featuring work from over 20 disabled contributors, the anthology contains poems, essays and artworks which question and divulge the experience of being deemed troublesome. And there's still time to read this month's novel, Family Lexicon by Natalia Ginzburg, for next week's Literati Glitterati Salon.

All I Ever Wanted Was To Be Hot by Lucinda Price (aka Froomes)

Mel Fulton speaks with internet darling Lucinda “Froomes” Price about her debut novel All I Ever Wanted Was To Be Hot. Froomes is known for outrageous comedic bits, celebrity obsessions and as a beacon for early naughties nostalgia. All I Ever Wanted Was To Be Hot is a memoir/manifesto that dives deep into her psyche, an honest and vulnerable account of Froomes' experiences with restrictive eating, cosmetic surgery and societal expectations, all backed by science, anecdotes and pop culture references. Mel and Froomes acknowledge that a lot of us want to be hot, but the lengths we go to can be detrimental. Together, they drill into some of the experiences in their own lives that made them stop and think about why they were doing what they were doing to their bodies, and work through decades worth of internalised commentary on their external appearance. If this conversation brings up unwelcome feelings regarding disordered eating, try talking to a loved one or call the Butterfly Foundation hotline on 1800 33 4673.
