Writer Jonathan Seidler absolutely believes there’s beauty in your most heart wrenching breakups and he’s written a novel to prove it.

If you read Esquire or The Guardian, if you’re into music, if you came up in the era of Vice magazine, or if you’ve kept half an eye on the Australian literary scene then the name Jonathan Seidler will resonate with you pretty strongly.

His first novel, ‘It’s A Shame About Ray’, became a phenomenon for its honest, funny, and heartbreaking portrayal of men, memory, family, love, death.

And he always does it with a sly dose of humour. Because isn’t that the best way to travel through life?

In this chat we cover a lot of ground. Divorce, dating apps, foxes having sex.

A chat with Jonno is never just a quick chat. You can’t help but go deep on things. It’s the writer way!
