This week we're talking about that great cusp in our lives: adolescence. Peter Goldsworthy joins us to talk about the creative and sexual turbulence in the life of his latest young protagonist. We'll hear about death entering young lives in a story from Ella Holcombe. We encounter a unusual and intriguing adolescent in Peter Cameron's latest book. And we witness the dismemberment of a childhood icon!
