@thatjessho .of sexuality/sexual/gender politics/feminism/friendships/class struggle/social media from the first-person perspective of a functional hypocritical alcoholic loser. Jess is a cracking cynical writer who will explode stereotypes & make lots of people uncomfortable. I can’t wait.

[Brendan Fredericks @Brendo_Ed]

I’m stoked to welcome Melbourne food legend Jess Ho to the BFredericksPR tribe @thatjessho Over the coming months, Jess will be developing a novel to take to market in the new year...more info down the track...in short it’s a wry cynical black comedy, a hyper-realistic take down.

...but really, Sally Breen is a monstrous talent all her own. The Flora Burn is a provocative European novel in melancholic Australian clothing.”

on Sally Breen's 'The Flora Burn', Chris Flynn said:
“The Flora Burn cements Sally Breen as one of the most electrifying voices in 21st Century Australian literature. Sarah is the fuck-this-world-and-everyone-in-it protagonist we desperately need: lonely and honest, daring and...

[Brendan Fredericks @Brendo_Ed]

'The Flora Burns’ is what happens when a woman has all the agency she could ever want and what happens when she doesn’t. I was fucking blown away by it. Sally’s writing is exceptional, edgy, raw, original, refreshing and vital, powerful and brilliant.

[Brendan Fredericks @Brendo_Ed]
