This week the fr*telli speak to Steve Toltz, whose new novel, A Rising of the Lights is out next week from Penguin. He tells them about his theories of comedy, influences from across history, and his resistance to blame the publishing industry for the inveterate dullness of so much of Ozlit. You can catch Steve reading from the novel in Sydney and Melbourne in the coming months, and at various Writers’ Festivals thereafter.Before that, the B*ys talk about the Death of Dezi Freeman, the extreme relatability of the Liberal National Party, run-ins with reactionary writers and more.
Thanks as always to “Dictator” Dan Dare for production. Song is No Strain by the Southend Rainbows.
