About this listen
In this episode Irma and Karen chat about how a two-book deal was secured via an explosive Booktok profile, after which they discuss recent reads that they’ve enjoyed.
Then Karen talks to Markus Zusak about his family of storytellers and his early steps as a writer, how to use your writing heroes to start on the journey of developing your own voice, the excitement of having his first book published, how The Book Thief arose from three separate ideas that came together like a volcanic eruption, how the success of that book landed in his life and impacted his future work, how you know when you’ve found the right spark in writing, his affection for Bridge of Clay, and how much he enjoyed writing Three Wild Dogs and the Truth.
