from My Life In Books with Red Szell · host Accessible Media Inc.
Nadia Bozak is a Canadian author and academic known for writing literary fiction that confronts the existential issues looming over us. In her latest novel, Fret, a frazzled single mother is subjected to the full glare of public scrutiny after her idling car is stolen during a heatwave, with her 3-year-old daughter inside it. In a sweltering city, she becomes a lightning rod for anger and frustration. Enduring a firestorm of online shaming, the loss of her job, and the removal of her children, events force her to reconcile herself to her troubled past as an indie-rock musician. Join Nadia and Red as they explore the human cost of climate change, the amplifying effect of social media, and the restorative power of music.
