Bookmark This! Ep 16: The Discomfort Of Literature 22:16 mins Synopsis: A podcast by The Straits Times, where we talk about titles in the headlines and sizzling reads. Literary discomfort is having a winning streak of late, from Marieke Lucas Rijneveld's unsettling Dutch novel The Discomfort Of Evening snagging the International Booker Prize and Marylyn Tan becoming the first woman poet to score a solo victory at the Singapore Literature Prize for her collection Gaze Back. Journalists Olivia Ho and Toh Wen Li chat about these in the latest episode of this Straits Times literary podcast, as well as uncomfortable new releases The Lying Life Of Adults by Elena Ferrante and Death In Her Hands by Ottessa Moshfegh.
