Episode Description

Mikaella Clements and Onjuli Datta are a married couple who write novels together! Their first novel “The View Was Exhausting” is a rom-com about an A-List Hollywood actress and a millionaire’s son using their fabricated romance to control the narrative, and was named by Vogue magazine as a “perfect summer read”.

Their new book is an entirely different beast - “Feast While You Can” is a dark and sensual queer love story set in a remote town that blurs the line between love and terror.

They have returned to Melbourne for the Melbourne Writers Festival.
