It is thrilling and her story and her ability to tell it is really wonderful and that event is going to be on through the Sydney Jewish Writers Festival and people can find more details about that through the website, which I can send you a link for.
Thanks very much.
I'm already making notes of things I can't wait to read.
For me, this year was a really a year of nonfiction that stayed with me.
I think the strongest one for me was Traumata by Mira Atkinson, who's an Australian.
It's creative literary nonfiction.
It's a real hybrid.
It's part memoir.
It's part kind of pop culture dissection.
It's part academic research.
But it's tracing both her own experiences of chronic trauma throughout her life and in her world, but also looking at the kind of reverberations across social structures and across generations of trauma.
And it kept coming up in every public discussion I heard, every time people talked about violence against anyone.
There was so much that came up in her book that's about the origins of shame and the relationship between shame and trauma.
And she writes about it in a way that's very personal.
It's never cold and it's never overwhelming.
But it's a really interesting hybrid.
It's in that space of sort of part memoir, almost part academic book.
And it was really one that I think is really special and was a bit overlooked, I think.
I'm reading it at the moment.
I love Charlotte Wood and I feel the same way.
