Today EWF are delighted to share a conversation between Peggy Frew and Mark Hewitt. Peggy Frew's work has been shortlisted for the Stella Prize and the Miles Franklin Literary Award, longlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award, and the winner of the Barbara Jefferis Award. Peggy is a member of the critically acclaimed and award-winning Melbourne band Art of Fighting. Wildflowers is her fourth novel. Mark Hewitt is a writer from Melbourne. His debut fiction, the short story Doorknocker, was published in Empty Mind Plaza in 2022. Westie is his first novel. Peggy and Mark met in September for this conversation, having been acquainted in the past. They spoke about the ethics of writing fiction, their individual writing processes, making a living as an artist and more broadly the public and private identity of being a writer. There's great wisdom and food for thought in this conversation. We hope you enjoy listening.

Myf and Zan are back and oh boy there's a lot to catch up on. Much of it food related, weirdly; from roast chicken handbags as art, to butter boards (wtaf), and Olivia Wilde's “special salad dressing”. James Cordern is being banned from eating out, for good measure. More locally, the Bureau of Meteorology caused it's own storm with an attempt at rebranding this week. And artists across the globe are cancelling tours and speaking out against rising costs, unsustainable touring wages, and the mental health impacts of working in an industry that is so demanding. Everyone's loving Bad Sisters, as are we, and we're also banging on about sisterly story Wildflowers.

Philip Salom challenges us to re-evaluate notions of identity in an age where algorithms predominate in his latest work, ‘Sweeney and the Bicycles'.Three sisters are aware of their frailties, addictions and bossiness, but will they reconnect if they could control or even value these characteristics in each other, in Peggy Frew's ‘Wildflowers'.

You can find Griffith Review 74: Escape Routes at https://www.griffithreview.com/editions/escape-routes/ This conversation was originally broadcast on 3SER's 97.7FM Casey Radio in December 2021.

Victoria Hannan’s - KokomoVictoria Hannan is a writer and photographer living in Melbourne. Kokomo, her first novel, was the winner of the 2019 Victorian Premier's Literary Award for an Unpublished Manuscript, and let me just give you a little context.The Victorian Premier's Literary Award for an Unpublished Manuscript over the last decade has seen the likes of Peggy Frew, Graeme Simsin, Maxine Beneba Clark, Jane Harper and Melanie Cheng take out the prize before going on to being some of our most successful and important writers.As we begin, Mina has lived in London for seven years. She’s got a good job, nice apartment and things are looking pretty good with Jack.Back home Mina’s mum Elaine hasn’t left the house for eleven years. That’s just the way things have been since Mina’s dad died. Mina’s life is looking pretty good until a call arrives from Melbourne “Mina it’s your mum, she’s left the house”.Mina returns to Melbourne. To a home unchanged and a woman who is closed off and taciturn; unwilling to share the pain she holds inside. Mina also returns to a world that believes she left it. Friends greet her with joy, but are unwilling to go too far to bridge the gulf that has opened up between them.In a scene in a karaoke bar, Mina cynically tells her ex-boyfriend Ben that the Kokomo the Beach Boys are singing about isn’t a real place. The Kokomo of the song is an industrial city in the middle of America but the band have crafted a beautiful illusion that allows us to float away to paradise if we simply suspend our disbelief.Hannan’s Kokomo similarly asks us whether we can live our lives in a fantasy land of our own making. The answer is not so simple as you might assume. We are shown lies propped up by the victims desire to believe and lies that exist only in the hearts and minds of the person being lied to. These comfortable lies that keep us going suddenly loom large when shown across the perspective of a lifetime.Kokomo shifts perspectives between Mina and Elaine, slowly unravelling their pasts and present. The effect is to complicate seemingly known events and challenge our assumptions of how love, family and trust work, even between people who have shared so much.The novel is heartbreaking, funny, gross and gorgeous. Hannan dares to show us those moments we’d prefer forgotten and that gives this book enormous heart.In a time where all our daily comforts are seemingly lost to a brave new world where our actions impact the health of the nation, Kokomo shows us that we must always be willing to stare truth in the face and hold true to ourselves...

In anticipation of the Miles Franklin award announcement due this week, we offer this special Miles Franklin edition of Book Matters. In this mini episode Sam interviews Peggy Frew, author of Islands, shortlisted for the 2020 award, about her beautiful nominated novel and her writing journey.

Peggy Frew, author and musician, reveals her Desert Island Books in conversation with librarian and host, Natalie Mason.

Islands is the story of a family; Helen and John, their daughters June and Anna. A family who like any other love and quarrel and are not perfect in the ways that you can only be with loved ones. Then one night, fifteen year old Anna doesn’t return home and the family’s lives are inexorably defined by that moment forevermore…

ARIA-award winning band 'Art of Fighting' talk to me about taking a twelve-year hiatus from music. I ask how they promoted their music before social media, we discuss their 'toilet tour' of Europe, and they also give a really cool history of Australian music!! We also delve into a conversation on how musicians measure and attain happiness and why people attempt to fill the void with external validation. Stay to the end I promise it's worth it : )  Love, Ferg. 

Rosella Postorino's At the Wolf's Table, inspired by Hitler's food tasters, Peggy Frew's novel about a lost girl called Islands, and writers' routines with Madeleine Dore and Marieke Hardy.

An island can be a holiday destination as well as a metaphor for social and family continuity, but it can also represent how isolated individuals can become.  These actions are explored in Peggy Frew's 'Islands'.
