It made me cry.
It's called Contra Posto.
It's published by Canongate.
Dave Eggers, what a pleasure to meet you today.
On ABC Radio National, you're listening to The Book Show.
And now I'm taking you to a future world.

This is the setting for The End of Romance, a dystopian novel by the Australian writer and poet Maria Takalanda.
Hi, Maria.
Hello.
Can you start by telling me when and where this novel is set?
Yeah, and I was looking and looking and looking for Australia when I read this novel, Maria, knowing that you are Australian, but it's not necessarily somewhere in this country, right?
I feel like I've got this insider goss on this novel now.
This is excellent.
I guess the other thing when you're walking around this landscape is it seems like there aren't as many people about as there once was.

What is your take on this?
