Take Home Reading is a new short-form audio series for readers and writers – shining a spotlight on Australian writers with recently released books. In each instalment, you’ll be introduced to a writer, learn a little about what they’ve been reading lately, and hear a short reading from their latest work.

In this episode we’re talking to Ronnie Scott about his debut novel, The Adversary.

The Adversary follows its protagonist from a long Brunswick winter into the sticky heat of one transformative Melbourne summer.

Ronnie was programmed to appear in our Next Big Thing: Here and Gone Edition, which was unfortunately cancelled as part of our preventative measures to stem the spread of coronavirus COVID-19.

The Adversary is out now through Penguin Random House.
