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 Sean O’Beirne about his debut short story collection, A Couple of Things Before the End. A bitingly satirical collection, A Couple of Things Before the End employs a remarkable range of voices to explore suburban end times.
