For the sixth episode of the second season of The Literary Edit podcast, I was joined by the wonderful Joanne Harris. You can read her list of Desert Island Books here, and the ones we discuss in the episode are:

 

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

Myths of the Norsemen by H.A. Guerber

Gormenghast by Mervyn Peake

Les Misérables by Victor Hugo

R is for Rocket by Ray Bradbury

The Inimitable Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy

Perfumes, the Guide by Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez

 

Other books we spoke about included Like Water for Chocolate, by Laura Esquivel, Joanne’s Chocolat series, The Night at the Circus by Angela Carter, and The Lottery by Shirley Jackson.

 

If you’d like to buy any of the books we discussed in the episode, please consider doing so from the list I created on Bookshop.org, an online bookstore with a mission to financially support local, independent bookstores. If you’re based in Australia, please consider buying them from Gertrude & Alice, who deliver all over the country.
