Your Favourites' Favourites: Annabel Crabb and Jessie Tu

In Your Favourites’ Favourites, our most-loved writers introduce one of their favourite authors. 

ABC writer and presenter Annabel Crabb describes Jessie Tu as “original, brilliant, funny, fierce – everything I want in a writer”. Following Jessie’s explosive Australian Book Industry Award–winning debut novel, A Lonely Girl is a Dangerous Thing, her sophomore work is equally taut and daring.

Set in the world of academic translation, in locations as diverse as France, Sydney and Taipei, The Honeyeater is an original and sensitive exploration of shifting family dynamics, exploitation, betrayal and grief.

Listen as Annabel shares her admiration for Jessie as one of the brightest voices in Australian literature.
