“Like a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, a Beef Wellington is a tenderloin or fillet wrapped in a layer of mushrooms, inside puff pastry.” That's how writer Chloe Hooper begins to describe the events that have put a 48-year-old woman at the centre of international attention. The mysterious case of the suspected death cap mushroom poisoning has left three people in regional Victoria dead – and an international audience wondering how it happened.  Today, contributor to The Saturday Paper Chloe Hooper on what's known about the case and why stories like this are so hard to resist.

Chair: Beejay Silcox Chloe Hooper's Bedtime Story is a paean to the solace of reading in times of grief and pain. Its starting point is her partner's leukemia diagnosis and the challenge of preparing their children for an uncertain future. In conversation with writer and critic Beejay Silcox, Hooper examines the world of children's literature – a genre that is remarkably dark – and explores how children understand and cope with a world they can't control. Event details: Tue 07 Mar, 3:45pm on the West Stage

In this moving conversation Chloe Hooper and Tim Baker chat with Nikki Gemmell about the things we can draw on to live everyday life with awe, and how our mortality brings the fullness of life into sharp relief. Together they highlight the importance of conversations around mortality, and how to approach the subject as a community, to inspire robust discussion about how to live life to the fullest.

Many people find it difficult to know how to speak with others about death and grieving, especially when the experience of it can be so intensely personal. In an extended conversation we speak with three authors who have shared their own experiences and wisdom; Chloe Hooper, author of Bedtime Story, Michael Rosen, author of Getting Better and Cariad Lloyd, creator of Griefcast and author of You Are Not Alone.

Richard Fidler in conversation with fellow author Chloe Hooper about Fidler's latest work, The Book of Roads and Kingdoms.

[Content warning: Sensitive themes including suicide] Two fascinating non-fiction works explore our relationship to life, our bodies and mortality itself. In Bedtime Story, Chloe Hooper looks to classics by the likes of Brothers Grimm and JRR Tolkien to teach her own children about grief and resilience after her partner falls seriously ill. In her essay collection The First Time I Thought I Was Dying, Sarah Walker examines our unruly bodies and asks how we might learn to embrace our chaos. They share the stage with interviewer Anton Enus. Sydney Writers' Festival podcasts are available on all major podcast platforms.

Myf and Zan make sense of a week dominated by one news event, but with plenty of pop culture tugging at our attention. The Emmy's provided plenty of reminders of TV we loved, missed, or clean forgot that we watched in the first place, and a rare magical TV moment as Sheryl Lee Ralph took to the stage. Staying with the screen, the trailer for Disney's live action remake of The Little Mermaid got a whole lot of attention, but we're mostly here for the real time reacs from young black girls at the Ariel reveal. The biggest story of the week is of course the Queen's death, and we're reflecting on the conversations some are saying are “too soon” to be having, on the role of the Monarchy in modern day Australia. The sudden and sad death of Uncle Jack Charles has knocked us for six, and we remember his incredible light and legacy. Meanwhile Myf has been digging into the new Heartbreak High reboot on Netflix, and Zan is reading children's stories of a different kind, by Chloe Hooper.

Tanya Plibersek is arguably Labor's most high-profile female politician.  Once described as the next female prime minister, she rose through the ranks to become deputy leader at one point, and was most recently the party's education spokesperson.  But Labor's election to power after almost a decade in opposition has had unexpected consequences for Plibersek – she's found herself in a new portfolio, facing a new challenge.  And it's a monumental one: she's now the minister for the Environment and Water.  Today, writer and contributor to The Monthly, Chloe Hooper, takes us inside how Tanya Plibersek found herself here, and what she plans to do about it.

Tasmanian senator Jacqui Lambie is known as one of the most outspoken conviction politicians in the country.  Now, she's poised to add to her influence in the senate, with her former office manager Tammy Tyrrell likely to claim a seat under the banner of the Jacqui Lambie Network.   But Jacqui Lambie's political success hasn't always been assured In fact, when she entered politics - via a housing commission, the army and eventually Clive Palmer - her speeches on Sharia law, and her op-shop outfits, marked her out for ridicule.  Today, we revisit our episode from March this year with Contributor to the Monthly, Chloe Hooper, on the political rise of Jacqui Lambie.  Guest: Writer and contributor to The Monthly, Chloe Hooper.

Sarah Krasnostein in conversation with fellow author Chloe Hooper about Krasnostein's recent Quarterly Essay on mental health and vulnerability in Australia.

When Tasmanian Senator Jacqui Lambie entered politics - via a housing commission, the army and eventually Clive Palmer - her speeches on Sharia law, and her op-shop outfits, marked her out for ridicule.  Since then Jacqui Lambie has had a remarkable turnaround. Wielding her influence in the senate to advocate for veterans, those on low incomes, and to argue against corruption.   She's become known as one of the most fierce, and outspoken conviction politicians in the country.

A conversation between authors Sarah Krasnostein and Chloe Hooper. Together they discuss Krasnostein's latest work, The Believer.

On the scorching February day in 2009 that became known as Black Saturday, a man lit two fires in Victoria's Latrobe Valley, then sat on the roof of his house to watch the inferno. In the Valley, where the rates of crime were the highest in the state, more than thirty people were known to police as firebugs. But the detectives soon found themselves on the trail of a man they didn't know. The Arsonist takes readers on the hunt for this man, and inside the strange puzzle of his mind. It is also the story of fire in this country, and of a community that owed its existence to that very element. The command of fire has defined and sustained us as a species – understanding its abuse will define our future. A powerful real-life thriller written with Hooper's trademark lyric detail and nuance, The Arsonist is a reminder that in an age of fire, all of us are gatekeepers. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/support

Chloe Hooper on Victoria's 'Black Saturday' bushfires, the arsonist responsible for two of the fires, and why we are living in an age of fire.

Chloe Hooper and Susan Orlean join Matthew Condon to share their insights into the dark logic of arson, and how they reconciled confusion and culpability in piecing together portraits of maddeningly elusive subjects. Chloe’s The Arsonist investigates the bullied loner who lit two of the Black Saturday fires. Susan’s The Library Book examines the prime suspect of the devastating 1986 Los Angeles Public Library fire, a handsome drifter who yearned for stardom.

Clare and Yves are joined by author Chloe Hooper, whose latest book The Arsonist (2018) weaves together the story of the Black Saturday Fires out of the threads of a living archive. Can the landscape and its scars reveal a true history? The group discusses paper trails in the legal system, the question of trust, and engaging in the physical archive of landscape.

When adversity strikes, it is often out of the blue. A day like any other, then a bolt from the blue, and everything changes. How do you bounce back from trauma and tragedy?

Chloe Hooper, Bram Presser and Jock Serong explore the creative space between fact and fiction. This session was recorded at the 2019 Newcastle Writers Festival and is hosted by Geordie Williamson.

Chloe's book The Arsonist is Simon and Matt's favourite of the year so far. Here she talks us through her favourite authors and books. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Anna and Annie chat with Rick Morton about his excellent book One Hundred Years of Dirt.  A memoir about growing up poor in a small town in Queensland, it also tells a broader picture of social issues facing many Australians.  Described as 'terrific' by Tim Winton, 'magnificent' by Christos Tsiolkas and a book 'every Australian should read' (Stephen Romei), we loved this.   Rick recommends The Arsonist by Chloe Hooper and the podcasts Who The Hell is Hamish and The Dropout. Coming up:  Anna and Amanda interview Preti Taneja about We That Are Young, and we chat with Oyinkan Braithwaite about My Sister The Serial Killer. Follow us!

Helen Garner talks with Chloe Hooper about her early career and the impact of Monkey Grip and The Children's Bach on her writing life. This is a live recording from our event.

On the scorching February day in 2009 that became known as Black Saturday, a man lit two fires in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley, then sat on the roof of his house to watch the inferno. In the Valley, where the rates of crime were the highest in the state, more than thirty people were known to police as firebugs. But the detectives soon found themselves on the trail of a man they didn’t know. Chloe Hooper’s The Arsonist investigates this arsonist, his crime, and asks what the case illuminates about our own society. In conversation at Fitzroy Reading Room with award-winning author Tony Birch, Chloe details her approach to this difficult story and the reasons it needed to be told.

Join Caroline Wilson and Corrie Perkin for Ep 72 - 'You're Shameless!'.  We check in with our 'Goal of the Month' pledges and review a big week of celebrations (including a Hen's Night, Brian Cook's star studded 30th dinner and the Do Re Mi reunion). After the Morrison government experienced an historic loss in parliament yesterday we discuss the ramifications for Bill Shorten ahead of the next election and we look into the sacking of Matildas coach Alen Stajcic.  Corrie's Valentine's Day inspired "Crush of the Week" is former judge Michael Kirby. In "BSF" Caro's recommending not one but three movies Vice, On The Basis of Sex and Green Book, Corrie's been reading Chloe Hooper's The Arsonist  and with a nod to Tony Mokbel - Caro shares her favourite new zucchini recipe (see recipe below).  The ratings success of Married At First Sight is making Caro more than a little grumpy this week and in "6 Quick Questions" we debate the essence of pesto, talk Barnaby Joyce and Wallace Stegner and get a little excited about John B Fairfax investing in a new investigative arm of Crikey.  To wrap things up Corrie shares a slightly unconventional "GLT" for anyone battling with a testy toddler.  Crushed Courgettes (Zucchini) from Yottam Ottolenghi’s Simple. 3 large courgettes, cut in half lengthways, then into 6cm pieces (850g) 1 tsp dried mint 5g picked thyme leaves 70 ml olive oil 1 whole head of garlic, separated into unpeeled cloves 2 tbsp chopped mint leaves 1 ½ tbsp chopped dill 1 tbsp lemon juice Salt and black pepper   Pre heat the oven to 200C fan Place the courgettes in a bowl with the dried mint, thyme, oil, ¾ teaspoon of salt and some black pepper. Mix, then transfer to a medium baking dish: you want the courgettes to form a single layer, cut side up and sitting slightly overlapping. Bake for 15 minutes, then add the garlic cloves and bake for another 15 minutes, until the courgettes have softened and taken on some colour. Transfer everything to a colander (set over a bowl or the sink), pressing the courgettes so that they start to release some of their liquid. Set aside to cool for at least 30 minutes, discarding the liquid released. Transfer the contents of the colander to a mixing bowl and squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins (which can then be discarded). Mash everything together with a fork: if the skin of the courgettes is still a little touch, just use a knife to roughly chop them. Stir in the mint leaves, dill and lemon juice to serve.

Small-town secrets, police politics and catastrophic loss – all loomed large in Chloe Hooper’s groundbreaking 2008 narrative non-fiction book, The Tall Man, about tragedy on Palm Island in Queensland.
