020: Our Fave Books by Asian Australian Authors

We love reading any book ever, basically. And both of us adore books written by authors from across the world. Reading stories written in languages other than English can be such a wonderful exploration of our own language, and the way we expect and get used to hearing sentences, words, and descriptions. So this ep, we’re sharing our fave books that have been translated into English!  BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS: Convenience Store Woman by Murata Sayaka Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami Death is Hard Work by Khaled Khalifa Perfume by Patrick Suskind OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS: Only Murders in the Building Betty Lupin  Happy Reading! p.s. Jacinta wants to remind everyone for the millionth time her favourite book is the translated My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante, despite how Emma feels about it!
