She Escaped Reality Through Myth… But What Was She Running From? | Dee Marley Interview

What happens when reality becomes unbearable?In this episode of Down Under Interviews, host Paul Rushworth-Brown speaks with author Dee Marley about the powerful role of myth, storytelling, and time in shaping how we survive the world around us.Dee’s work explores a deeply human instinct—the need to step outside reality when it becomes too heavy to carry. Through her novels Kingfisher and Antipode, she reveals how women, in particular, turn to myth not as fantasy, but as a form of refuge… and sometimes, resistance.This is not a conversation about escapism.It’s about what drives people to leave reality behind—and what they bring back with them when they return."Fairy tales to some… history to others."
