Talking Aussie Books with Pip Fioretti

Pip Fioretti is a Sydney-based author who has been writing fiction since 2006 alongside a career in visual arts. In the 2021 Sydney lockdown and inspired by walks she’d taken though the arid rangelands of western NSW, Pip wrote the first draft for a novel that would become her first crime novel - 'Bone Lands'. Released by Affirm Press at the end of March, 'Bone Lands' is a highly evocative, compelling and somewhat confronting novel which delves into Australia’s dark past and prosperity built on the back of the pastoral industry. A thoroughly engrossing, sobering novel that heralds a bright future for one of Australia’s newest outback noir writers. I enjoyed a wide-ranging, fascinating chat with Pip for the podcast recently.
