How radical is it to write a novel where the people are inherently good?
Yeah, I loved that this book did that.
Are you going to write more fiction, Ian?
Well, I loved this first novel.
It's called Two Islands.
It's published by UQP.
Ian Chemish, it's been great to meet you today.
The book show is made on the lands of the Wurundjeri and Whadjuk Noongar people.
Thank you to producer Anita Barrow.
Next time, poet, rapper and novelist Kay Tempest will be here to share his beautiful new book.
Until then, I'm Claire Nicholls and make sure you're following the book show on ABC Listen.
You and your twin sister are called to a family meeting where your parents tell you they're splitting up.
Now, they want to have a clean break, no shared custody.
Instead, each child will live permanently with one of the parents.
And the way to decide which kid will live with which adult?
Well, how about rolling a dice?
I'm Clare Nicholls, and this is The Book Show, where I bring you conversations with your favourite fiction authors.
The Australian diplomat turned novelist Ian Chemish will join me soon.
He's written a page-turner inspired by his experience in the Balkans in the 1990s.
But first, let's get back to those parents deciding their children's future with a roll of the dice.
