I'm Listening To This: Meg Mason

From Sunday Morning, 10:30 am on 31 October 2021

Foxton-born author Meg Mason would be forgiven for feeling like the last 12 or so months have passed in a blur. 
Although it was her second novel (and third book overall), the release of Sorrow and Bliss in September 2020 launched Mason into the international literary stratosphere. In February this year, production company New Regency ('Birdman' and '12 Years A Slave') secured the film and television rights in what was described as a 'competitive' situation. 
Mason is about to feature as a special guest at Verb Wellington, where she'll be taking part in a virtual Q and A with Noelle McCarthy. 

The Sydney-based writer is with us to look at the incredible success of Sorrow and Bliss and pick a classic track that she has found strangely uplifting during the time of Covid.
