Katharine Pollock’s Starry Eyed

The Final Draft podcast is all about books, writing and literary culture. We're dedicated to exploring Australian writing, looking into the issues that drive our storytelling to discover more from the books you love. These are the stories that make us who we are. Dr Katharine Pollock (PhD) is the author of Her Fidelity. Her new novel is Starry Eyed. To say that Scarlett Fever is the centre of Addilyn’s universe would be to imply that there is only a finite number of universes and that Scarlett hasn’t traversed them all in her majestic ship Lynx. Ever since childhood, Addilyn has loved Scarlett Fever and the opportunity it’s given her to travel the cosmos in her mind. Scarlett’s certainly offered her more than the real world seems willing to, and so when Addilyn is given the chance to interview Scarlett Fever’s Wunderkind director, Josh Jolly Courtney (now sexily salt & pepper at the temples) she doesn’t hesitate to jet off to New York. Is this her hero's journey, or does another story await her? Final Draft is produced and presented by Andrew Pople Want more great conversations with Australian authors?
