190 – Kaaron Warren & The Un-Cosy House

Send us a Text Message. We all love a good spooky house. And most of us enjoy a terrifying home-invasion ordeal (or at least, I know I do).   What happens when you put them together? Kaaron Warren’s The Underhistory is the answer, but it’s nothing at all like what you’d expect.   This new novel by the award-winning Australian writer is a story of memory, of rooms and architecture, of violence and misogyny, and of a very unusual old lady. We talk about all of that and more. It’s a great conversation, one in which we go hunting for the secrets of her book together.   Enjoy!   The Underhistory was published on April 11th by Viper   Other books mentioned:  Slights (2009), by Kaaron WarrenThe Grief Hole (2016), by Kaaron WarrenAny Human Heart (2002), by William BoydThe Measure of Sorrow (2023), by J.
