Dear SeekersThe Write Way to Mother: Rachel YoderMy first guest for this series is Rachel Yoder, author of Nightbitch- a novel published last year in 2021. Although it’s categorized as fiction, I would argue it’s more a cross-genre piece that is part auto-fiction, part science-fiction. The protagonist in the book is an artist and stay-at-home mom who turns into a dog (yes, you read it right). This is one of the most bizarre and imaginative books I’ve read in a long time. It’s dark, funny, weird and wild. It’s magical. It’s provocative. It’s an easy read to devour yet a difficult read to...

Adelaide Writers' WeekAWW22 Wild Motherhood - Briohny Doyle and Rachel YoderChaired by Tali Lavi.Rachel Yoder’s Nightbitch is one of the wildest debuts of the year, a feral, often hilarious take on the impact of new motherhood, as a resentful, flailing woman finds herself transforming into a dog. The monstrousness of mothers takes a more sombre form in Briohny Doyle’s Echolalia, in which a young mother’s alienation from her family and the shrinking world she inhabits lead to a psychological disintegration that matches that of the scorching world outside.
