How To Fail With Elizabeth Day is hosted by Elizabeth Day, produced by Naomi Mantin and Chris Sharp. You can buy Sorrow & Bliss by Meg Mason here It seemed an utterly perfect way to end our season. If you've ever been through a friendship break-up, then this one's for you. We talk about failures both creative and personal - how people telling her she had her children too young made her almost believe it, how she regrets writing an 'angry' memoir, and how she fell-out with a childhood friend and almost lost her forever. In the meantime, have a listen to this episode which - like Meg's writing - is poignant, humane and true. It is STUNNING and if you haven't read it yet, you must. See More about sisterly love, mental illness, the complexities of marriage, family pain and what it means to be human (complete with references to slag-heaps and a dishevelled Kate Moss). Meg, a New Zealander who lives in Sydney, wrote a quintessentially British book that was at once utterly tender and riotously funny, Meg Masons breakout bestselling novel of love, family and mental health, Sorrow and Bliss, was shortlisted for the Womens Prize for Fiction and dubbed. She is Meg Mason and her novel, Sorrow & Bliss, was the novel of the summer, lauded by everyone from Ann Patchett to Gillian Anderson via Olivia Wilde who was pictured reading it while on a yacht on holiday with Harry Styles. For the final episode of this season of How To Fail, I bring you the author of one of my favourite books of recent years.
