#HelenGarner fans or anyone interested in exploring her writing might like this ABC Nightlife with host Suzanne Hill talking to author, bookseller and critic Sean O'Beirne, who's written an essay on Garner as part of the Writers on Writers series.
PS. I've also read and reviewed O'Beirne's short story collection, A Few Things Before The End (for Writing NSW in 2020) and highly recommend it. 📖
