Ep 253: Wifedom: Mrs Orwell's Invisible Life by Anna Funder
Anna and Annie discuss the 2023 Booker Prize Shortlist and the authors taking action over the generative AI use of their work.
Our book of the week is WIFEDOM: MRS ORWELL'S INVISIBLE LIFE by Anna Funder. An innovative biography of Eileen Orwell by the Miles Franklin and Samuel Johnson prize winner, it has been described as a masterpiece and we think would make a great book club book.
