Really Interesting Women - the podcastEpisode 128SUSAN JOHNSONThe Australian newspaper has described Susan Johnson as, ‘One of the finest Australian writers.’She describes herself as,  author, incurable Australian, friend, feminist, ambivalent mother skewered by love and struck by eternal wanderlust. Isn't that a terrific description. Her books include, From Where I Fell, published in 2021 (shortlisted for the Voss Literary Award) and The Broken Book (longlisted for the Miles Franklin Award in 2005) and, most recently, Aphrodite’s Breath: A Mother and Daughter's Greek Island Adventure which is a memoir about living on Kythera, Greece, with her 85-year-old mother.  A really great read.She started her career as a journalist and her life trajectory changed in 1985, when she received the first of three New Writers' grants from the Literature Board of the Australia Council which allowed her to write full time. She is now the author of twelve books.Join me for a great discussion with Susan Johnson. Link to Susan's latest book: https://www.booktopia.com.au/aphrodite-s-breath-susan-johnson/book/9781760876562.htmlVisit instagram @reallyinterestingwomen for further interviews and posts of interesting women in history.
