Jacqueline Maley on her novel Lonely Mouth
About
Jacqueline Maley joins us to share her clever, tender and vivid novel about women: their bodies, their appetites, and their place in the world.'Lonely mouth is a Japanese expression. It means, you feel like you want to eat something, but you don't know what it is...Maybe there is no right thing. Maybe you don't need anything at all.'
Thursday 5th June, 5.30pm for 6pm
Bookoccino, 66 Old Barrenjoey Road, Avalon Beach
Tickets $30/$60
Matilda and Lara are half-sisters who share an unreliable mother and a chaotic past. Lara, ten years younger than Matilda, is a model, living and working in Paris - for her, life is expansive, carefree, beautiful. Matilda's life is in Sydney and solitary, contained, ordered.
When Lara's father, the erratic Angus Dante, comes back to make amends, Matilda's compartmentalised life goes seriously awry. As everything blows apart, Matilda is forced to come to a reckoning with who she is, and how to satisfy the hunger she wants to deny.
