Jenna phoned into the RNZ studio today to speak with Susie Ferguson about Josh Silver’s Fruit Fly.
Anyone can write a bestseller. Go gay. Go Dark. Go Sad.
Josh’s first novel for adults follows Mallory, an author with severe writer’s block, begins to use the life of a young, drug addicted man as inspiration for her next novel.

For fans of Yellowface, this this both fun and dark and completely compelling.
