Kathy Lette

When

Event Status

Kathy Lette pioneered smart, funny fiction with a frivolous edge (and a feminist flavour). Her heroines find themselves in sticky situations that range from the outrageous to the outrageously ordinary, as they pick their way through the minefield of modern life, navigating marriage, divorce, motherhood – and of course, Doing It All.

In The Boy Who Fell to Earth, Lucy has more to manage than most: she’s trying to rejuvenate her long-wilted love life while raising her adorable-but-challenging autistic son. Told in Kathy’s irascible style, with her signature wit and warmth, this novel springs from emotional truth: Kathy, too, has an autistic son.

Kathy will trade quips and talk fiction, humour and autism with Monica Dux, a feminist writer with a well-developed funny bone.
