Hello, book clubbers! This month, we read the debut novel ‘New Animal' by Australian author Ella Baxter. This book, set initially in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, then later in suburban Tasmania, follows the life of Amelia Aurelia; an embalmer who spends her days in funeral homes, painting the faces of the dead, and nights sleeping with strangers via the dating apps on her phone. More than anything, though, this is a novel of grief - by chapter four Amelia's beloved mother dies by falling down the stairs, and the reader joins the protagonist as she wades through the all-consuming pain of loss. Join us in the all the book chat over on our Insta, @theshamelessbookclub, and our TikTok, @theshamelessbookclub.

Hear from acclaimed new talents Ella Baxter and Allee Richards as they speak to Elizabeth McCarthy about their debut novels, which each brings unique perspective to the story of a young woman navigating sudden loss and grief. Baxter’s New Animal is the ‘profound, profane and darkly hilarious’ (Bri Lee) story of a young cosmetician in a family mortuary who falls in with a Tasmanian BDSM community after experiencing tragedy. Exploring friendship, desire and grief, Richards’ Small Joys of Real Life follows a woman reeling from the death of a fleeting romantic encounter and has been described as Sally Rooney meets Helen Garner.Recorded for MWF in 2021.Support MWF: https://mwf.com.au/donate/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy Saturday, book clubbers!This month, we tucked into Swing Time by Zadie Smith, a novel that tells the story of two girls growing up on the wrong side of London. They meet at a community dance class and dream of being dancers, but only one of them has the talent. The blurb told us it was a tale of “friendships that anchor us, define us and change us forever”, but do we feel that line adequately explained what the book was about? As with any Zadie Smith novel, this one came with hype: her clever observations, the depth of her characters, the nuance in her words. There is simply so. Much. To. Unpack.Today on the show, Mich, Zara, and Annabelle discuss Swing Time’s structure, the standout characters, and the bits in the book that didn’t quite land.Grab a copy of next month’s book club pick, New Animal by Ella Baxter, via our affiliate link here.Got some thoughts on our June pick, New Animal by Ella Baxter?

Indian American writer, Jhumpa Lahiri, has made her name writing fiction in English, but in recent years she has been writing in Italian including her latest, Whereabouts, which she also translated into English. Also, Ella Baxter on how her writing relates to her artistic practice making death shrouds and philosopher Hugh Breakey on his philosophical romance The Beautiful Fall.

Hello to the girls, gays &&& theys, welcome to another morally and aesthetically random episode of Clitical Thought! Join us as we dissect the highs and lows of life through the modern female experience, by analysing the Australian texts ‘A Lonely Girl is a Dangerous Thing' and ‘New Animal'! We explore how young female writers employ sex as a vehicle for self expression and self destruction, we ask, as a society are we having more sex, but as an extension, more lonely? Why do we want to feel desired more than we want to desire someone else? And when will Anna and Bella STFU about Sally Rooney? Your guess is as good as ours (lol)! Things mentioned: Bill and Melinda Gates divorce!

John Kinsella's evocation of the Australian landscape and the voices of the ordinary people speaks eloquently of the emotions, concerns and feelings with which we can all identify in his anthology of short stories, "Pushing Back".From the formalities of a funeral home to the inside working of a kink club, death, sex and make-up are all parts of "New Animal" by Ella Baxter.

Anna and Annie discuss the bookshops reopening in the UK and the Rathbones Folio prize scam. Our book of the week is New Animal by Ella Baxter. This debut Australian novel centres on Amelia, a cosmetician at her family's funeral home business.  It's wry, funny and tender with Six Feet Under and Fleabag vibes.  Perfect for Aussie April.  Coming up: Hot Stew by Fiona Mozley.
