Patrick Marlborough in conversation

In this episode, a conversation with writer and comedian Patrick Marlborough, author of Nock Loose. Set in the fictional coastal town of Bodkins Point, where an annual ultra-violent medieval festival has warped local history and identity for generations, it follows retired Olympian archer and former Tokusatsu stunt performer Joy as she embarks on a revenge quest through a landscape of grifters, weirdos, colonial ghosts and spectacular violence. Equal parts satire, thriller and fever dream, it’s a feral, funny and surprisingly heartfelt novel unlike anything else in contemporary Australian fiction. Enjoyed what you heard?
