Vicki Laveau-Harvie became a literary star in her 70s with her incredible story of growing up in rural Alberta in a family with an ailing father and a narcissistic mother. In a conversation with Matt Galloway in November, she discusses why her memoir, The Erratics, seems to connect so much with readers — and why writing it wasn't the catharsis people assume.

https://www.alainguillot.com/vicki-laveau-harvie/ Vicki Laveau-Harvie is a Canadian author of The Erratics, a memoir of two sisters trying to protect their father from their tyrannical mother.

We spoke with Vicki Laveau-Harvie, author of The Erratics, about why she doesn't see her book as a misery memoir, the proper place for catharsis, and why we're unlikely to ever find her on Twitter. Hear more from Kobo in Conversation.

Last week, a tweet by writer Doug Murano went viral. It said:  "I get tired of “under 40” lists. Show me someone who got their PhD at 60 after losing everything. Give me the 70-year-old debut novelist who writes from a lifetime of love and grief. Give me calloused hands and tender hearts."  Under it, were hundreds of examples of people who'd changed their lives, or achieved their life's purpose over the age of 40.  So, we wanted you to meet some incredible women who have done that very thing - Maria Georgiou, who launched her interior design career at 40, Dr Louise Randall, who began her medical degree in her late forties and Vicki Laveau-Harvie, who published her first book (which won the Stella Prize!) in her seventies.  Subscribe to The Quicky at... https://mamamia.com.au/the-quicky/ CREDITS  Host/Producer: Claire Murphy  Executive Producer: Melanie Tait Audio Producer: Jacob Round Guests:  Maria Georgiou, interior designer; Dr Louise Randall, intern psychiatrist; Vicki Laveau-Harvie, author of Stella Prize winning The Erratics.  CONTACT US Got a topic you'd like us to cover?

In Vicki Laveau-Harvie’s Stella Prize-winning memoir The Erratics, two sisters reckon with the convalescence and death of their outlandishly tyrannical mother and the care of their psychologically terrorised father. Darkly comic and savagely honest, The Erratics possesses the tightly coiled, compressed energy of an explosive device. A debut author in her 70s, Vicki Laveau-Harvie talks with ABC’s Ange Lavoipierre about this true story set against the natural beauty of remote Canada, which shatters precedents of grief, anger and family trauma with surprising tenderness and humour.

Featuring: novels that make her cry, how to get through acquisitions, the joyous dance of editing and publishing books that have the rare combination of being both commercial and literary. Catherine has worked in publishing for many years, including with Penguin Books, Pan Macmillan, Allen & Unwin, and since 2012, with HarperCollins, where she is Head of Fiction. She has an eclectic list, publishing across fiction and non-fiction. Recent standouts include Julia Baird's bestselling 'Phosphorescence'; Vicki Laveau-Harvie's Stella Prize-winning memoir 'The Erratics'; Catherine McKinnon's Miles Franklin-shortlisted 'Storyland'; Stan Grant's acclaimed 'Talking to My Country'; and Trent Dalton's phenomenal 'Boy Swallows Universe'. Her rule of thumb in publishing is that a book has got to make her feel something – she wants to feel passionately invested in everything she publishes. It's all about heart, soul, meaning and joy.

All families are nuts, according Vicki Laveau-Harvie and there was no better place to explore her family's eccentricities than her Stella Award winning debut memoir The Erratics. Vicki talks with host Angela Ledgerwood about her experience growing up with, and escaping, a narcissistic mother and creating a new life for herself in France & Australia with her chosen family.

Vicki Laveau-Harvie, Rick Morton and Andrew Stafford speak with Caro Llewellyn about their recent works of memoir, in which they interrogate the ups and downs of family life, the ongoing impacts of trauma, and the strength of the human spirit to survive in times of adversity.

Vicki Laveau-Harvie talks with Kate McClymont about 'The Erratics' - her 2019 Stella award-wining memoir which took the literary world by storm with its ferocious, yet darkly funny depiction of familial dysfunction.

A special episode: our interview with Stephanie Wood, author of Fake. Fake is both the story of Stephanie's relationship with a con artist, and an investigation into how we allow ourselves to be duped.  Described as 'fascinating' (The Saturday Paper), 'riveting' (The Australian), and named an 'Unmissable' book of 2019 by the Guardian, it's a beautifully written, honest and brave book - and unputdownable.  We can't recommend this highly enough!  Stephanie recommends The Erratics by Vicki Laveau-Harvie (ep 66), Lanny by Max Porter (ep 72) and the Esquire Classic podcast.
