9. Debut Spotlight- Costanza Casati

Welcome back Bookends to another episode in our Debut Spotlight series, where we shine the light on the freshest new authors and their work. For this episode, we were joined by the wonderful Costanza Casati, author of one of our favourite reads this year, the powerhouse myth retelling- 'Clytemnestra'. We discuss the importance of keeping these stories alive for future generations, why it was important to Costanza to represent female rage and desire through Clytemnestra and were spoiled by her extensive list of book reccs, which are always welcome here!If you enjoy this episode please do rate, review & subscribe as it helps us to reach other listeners.
