In Kate De Goldi’s latest Eddy, Eddy, we meet orphan Eddy Smallbone, at the precipice of adulthood. He is recently bereaved of his dog, Marley, carrying scars he cannot quite articulate, and questioning everything, especially the big things like family and religion. Join Kate as she talks with Harry Ricketts about writing teenage characters that strike a chord with adult readers, stretching language and wordplay to fit around the contours of grief and anger, and portraying a city in the aftermath of devastation.
