A whole new world

In her latest book, Woebegone’s Warehouse of Words, this Nepean Sea Road resident  creates a world where you have to buy words to use them. These words are living beings made of flesh and ink. “As I wrote this book, I began to see the parallels with the world we live in. Tyrants have become more sophisticated. If I have to silence you, I don’t have to cut off your tongue, I just have to take away your words. You can rule very effectively by controlling what stories people hear. If a lie is told repeatedly, it starts sounding like the truth.”
