In this podcast episode of "Invitation to New Books," hosts Sharon Callen and Genevieve Kruyssen delve into a delightful array of new children's books, highlighting the enchanting narratives and rich cultural tapestries that make each one a must-read.The conversation begins with "The Wombat Who Fell in Love with the Sky" by Tylissa Elisara. Genevieve's admiration for the story is evident as she discusses the book's deep connection to Kangaroo Island. The narrative of Wurtu, the wombat, embarking on an epic journey across the Forest of Dreaming, resonated with Genevieve, who praised the book's charming language and vivid sense of place. The story, inspired by Elisara's desire to combat the effects of racism experienced by her son, invites readers into Wurtu's world, making them feel at home in the bushland.Next, Genevieve introduces "Ember and the Island of Lost Creatures" by Jason Pamment. This graphic novel, reminiscent of the popular "Lightfall" series, captures readers with its mystical energy and animated storytelling. The tale of Ember, a tiny person navigating a magical school full of unique creatures, is brought to life through Piment's dynamic illustrations and engaging narrative. Genevieve lauds the book's seamless panel transitions and the captivating adventure that begins from the very first page.Transitioning to a different yet equally enchanting tale, the hosts discuss "Millie Mak the Maker" by Alice Pung, illustrated by Sher Rill Ng. This book beautifully combines storytelling with crafting, offering patterns and instructions for the crafts Millie creates within the narrative. The story celebrates creativity, cultural diversity, and the bond between Millie and her two grandmas. Genevieve appreciates the book's accessible language and its potential to spark meaningful discussions among young readers about creativity and family.The episode also touches on "Tweet" by Morris Gleitzman, a story that alternates between the perspectives of a boy named Jay and his pet budgie, Clyde. Genevieve admires Gleitzman's ability to capture both characters' voices and the humor and heart embedded in their journey. The alternating chapters and short, punchy segments keep readers engaged in this whimsical adventure.In the final segment, Genevieve highlights two notable books: "My Brother's Keeper," a poignant tale set during the Korean Civil War, and "The Wintrish Girl" by Melanie La'Brooy, an intricately plotted fantasy that bridges the gap between "Keeper of the Lost Cities" and "Nevermore." Genevieve praises "The Wintrish Girl" for its detailed world-building and the recognition it received from the inaugural Danz Awards, judged by children.Throughout the episode, Genevieve's passion for children's literature shines through as she shares insights into each book's unique charm and educational potential. This lively discussion offers listeners a treasure trove of recommendations for enriching young readers' lives with diverse and captivating stories.
In this episode, a conversation with Ouyang Yu, author, translator, academic, and renowned poet. Ouyang Yu's first collection of stories in English, The White Cockatoo Flowers, is both assured and tender and at times surprisingly funny. It includes stories set in China and Australia that revel in the truth and candour of lived experience and the joys and constraints of language. In this book Ouyang Yu deftly peels back the layers on what it means to move from one culture to another, and what it means to be a writer, a husband, a parent and a stranger on foreign and familiar ground. Ouyang Yu was joined in conversation by Alice Pung, a writer and editor whose books include the memoirs Unpolished Gem, Her Father's Daughter, and the novel Laurinda.

You would know Fiona and Georgina from their multiple roles on television. Right now, they're both appearing on stage in the Melbourne Theatre Company production of Laurinda. Based on the novel by Alice Pung, Laurinda tells the story of a woman going back to the '90's and re-living her teenage years when she was the recipient of a scholarship to a prestigious private school.

We meet some of the most remarkable mothers in recent fiction, with authors including Dawn French, Douglas Stuart, Anne Enright, Lisa Taddeo, Larissa Behrendt and Alice Pung. These literary mums can be loving, neglectful and sometimes cruel – and they often reveal something about the author's own relationship with their mother or children. Other featured authors include George Haddad, Craig Sherborne, Lydia Kiesling and Kate Mildenhall.

Sarah Collard reports on the responses to the trial for the murder of Kumanjayi Walker, Professor mark Howden talks to the latest IPCC report and the expected impact on agriculture and Alice Pung explores the challenges of being a diverse voice in publishing.
The writer Alice Pung says that ‘literature is a good place for us to share our feelings, our language, our inner lives. ‘Literature is a refuge.' And yet, she says, when marginalised people write books, the treatment of those books can miss much of the nuance that other authors might enjoy.
Chaired by Jo Case. Alice Pung and Allee Richards' protagonists each find themselves unexpectedly confronting motherhood. In Alice's One Hundred Days, Karuna is just 16 when she falls pregnant and hostage to her Filipina Chinese mother's controlling behaviour and general meanness, even as Grand Mar's resilience saves them. Allee's Eva sees her hopes for a new relationship with Pat dashed when he dies by suicide, never knowing she was carrying his child. The pregnancy becomes a catalyst for Eva to transform her life. Both books are characterised by depth and hope. Supported by the Copyright Agency Cultural Fund.

As part of this year's MQ Student Writers' Festival, Kobra Sayyadi and Matilda Harrisson interview Alice Pung on her new novel, One Hundred Days.
The award-winning novelist talks about navigating cultural diversity, representation, and Buddhism. ------ “Books don't change people. I think people change people.” Alice Pung's novels are beloved by readers, but she has a bone to pick with those who mostly encounter people with various backgrounds through fiction. “Why don't you have any Asian friends or black friends or poor friends or friends from the other side of the river in the western suburbs? Why do you need me to open up your eyes?” “My biggest readers are woke people and I would think it would be a wonderful thing if they brought less of my books. And you know, catch the bus across to Footscray and play basketball with some of the kids atnd the commission flats or something. It's my biggest gripe that some people think you can become a good person just by reading books,” she said. Pung's latest novel One Hundred Days tells the story of Karuna, a half Chinese-Filipino, half white-Australian teenager. After she falls pregnant, a battle of wills ensues between Karuna and her mother, who confines Karuna to their apartment to protect her. The novel depicts a claustrophobic and controlling relationship between mother and daughter and, as with much of Pung's work, offers a glimpse into the challenges of living between cultures in modern Australia. Pung also opens up about up her experience of Buddhism, and the challenge of depicting the lived religious experience of her characters without reinforcing crude stereotypes of race or religion. If nothing else, this conversation will invite you to consider what life looks like from the perspective of people you may never meet, but with whom you share multicultural Australia. ------ Explore: One Hundred Days by Alice Pung

‘The first person you encounter as a human being is generally your mother. That's the first source of knowing that you have. How valuable is that? And how painful is it to lose that in circumstances outside of your control?' In this Broadly Speaking podcast, Amani Haydar, Alice Pung and host Susan Carland discuss the extraordinary resilience mothers and children demonstrate in the face of trauma. In her memoir The Mother Wound, artist, lawyer and advocate Amani Haydar tells the heartbreaking story of her mother's death through a brutal act of violence perpetrated by her father. Award-winning writer Alice Pung's latest novel, One Hundred Days, examines the faultlines of love and control in a complex mother-daughter relationship. Both women are mothers themselves and write with nuance and compassion about the intersections and complexities of culture, class and family. What happens when trauma intersects with motherhood – and how do mothers and children find the strength to endure, survive and thrive? Content warning: This podcast includes discussion of family violence and other topics listeners may find confronting.

In 2020, Diana spoke at her first TedTalk titled “Joy is my Caffeine – JoyFool.” It was a defining moment of years performing standup and theatre coming to one place to tell a story in 13 minutes about what Joy meant to her and how it saved her life.

'You will see books sparking wonder or anger; throwing open windows into other languages, other cultures, other minds; causing people to fall in love or to fight for what is right. 'And more than anything, over and over again, you will see books and words being given, received and read - and in turn prompting further generosity.' Published to coincide with the 20th anniversary of global literacy non-profit, Room to Read, The Gifts of Reading forms inspiring, unforgettable, irresistible proof of the power and necessity of books and reading.
