Last Tuesday, avid listeners and readers came down to the Triple R Performance Space for the launch of Literati Glitterati's monthly book club!

The inaugural book of the month was Dorothy Porter’s iconic lesbian crime thriller, The Monkey’s Mask. Celebrating thirty years since its 1994 release, this modern Australian classic is gritty, sensual and pioneering in form, told in short verses that hit like your favourite song lyrics.

Host Mel Fulton was joined by special guests RVG’s Romy Vager, Worms Book Club’s Hayley Percy, and Dorothy’s surviving partner, award-winning novelist Andrea Goldsmith. If you missed the launch, you can listen back On Demand now, or scroll down for some visual highlights.
