Book Club 136 - The Revenge Club - Another intercontinental Book Club this time with Kathy Lette in Sydney, Australia talking about her funny book on a serious subject The Revenge Club. They chat about how they met on a TV show with the lowest ratings of all time, how this book sprung from a real life issue for Kathy (and who all the incidents of male nastiness are based on true stories), the nature of revenge, using comedy to cover topics that aren’t funny in themselves, why post-menopausal women are apparently invisible, fighting the patriarchy, doing all the accents in your own audio book, why men should read books by female authors and whether things are improving for women or getting worse (or both).
