#OurBrilliantFriends
Part of the #OurBrilliantFriends series, an international literary event spanning two continents (and many more time zones!).
Sydney-based author Kavita Bedford, whose newly-released debut novel FRIENDS AND DARK SHAPES was hailed by The Guardian as “an intimate, epiphanic portrait of millennial city life” was in conversation with Bryan Washington, a National Book Award 5 Under 35 honoree, author of the award-winning story collection LOT, and the bestselling novel MEMORIAL.
Wry, relatable, lyrical, and beautifully told, FRIENDS AND DARK SHAPES tells the story of a group of housemates in Sydney’s inner city contending with gentrification, divisive politics, stalled careers, their own complicated privilege as second-generation Australians, and the evolving world of dating.
Praised by Jenny Offill as “astonishingly assured and full of razor sharp observations about what it means to live precariously in a changing city,” FRIENDS AND DARK SHAPES introduces a bold new Australian voice to American readers.
