Ever wondered what else your Christmas and Black Friday packages might be mixed in with?
Some of Lee Cole’s novel is set in a packaging warehouse.
In the episode, Lee talks about how he turned this ‘boring’ job into a really interesting setting of his novel

Anna’s pain is spiritual as much as it is physical
Here, Agnes made me think a lot about how we’re trying to find fulfilment, and how we place responsibility in other people’s or ideas of other people to fulfill ourselves.
How do break from that?

“It’s like scrap paper - you can’t make anything of it”
This is a painfully sweet metaphor for how Agnes writes about time in her novel
This such a skilful aspect of SUPPORTING ACT and how people experience time differently
Agnes reminded of Ernaux
