Richard Flanagan: ‘When I reread Evelyn Waugh's Scoop it had corked badly'
My earliest reading memoryMy mother reading Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows to me – and reading it again and again, because I loved it and her. I was perhaps three. We lived in a little mining town in the middle of the rainforest. It was always raining and the rain drummed on the tin roof. To this day that's the sound I long to hear when I relax into a book – a voice in the stormy dark reminding me that I am not alone. My favourite book growing upBooks were an odyssey in which I lost and found myself, with new favourites being constantly supplanted by fresh astonishments. Rather than a favourite book I had a favourite place: the local public library. I enjoyed an inestimable amount of trash, beginning with comics and slowly venturing out into penny dreadful westerns and bad science fiction and on to the wonderfully lurid pulp of Harold Robbins, Henri Charrière, Alistair MacLean and Jackie Collins, erratically veering towards the beckoning mysteries of the adult world. The book that changed me as a teenagerAlbert Camus's The Outsider. It didn't offer a Damascene revelation, though. I was 11. I absorbed it like you might absorb an unexploded cluster bomb. The writer who changed my mindWhen I was 27, working as a doorman for the local council, counting exhibition attenders, I read in ever more fevered snatches Kafka's Metamorphosis, which I had to keep hidden beneath the table where I sat, balanced on my knees. A close family forsaking their son because he has turned into a giant cockroach, after the death of which they marvel at their daughter's vitality and looks? It dawned on me that writing could do anything and if it didn't try it was worth nothing. Beneath that paperback was a notebook with the beginnings of my first novel. I crossed it out and began again. The book that made me want to be a writerNo book, but one writer suggested it might be possible for me – so far from anywhere – that I perhaps too could be a writer. And that was William Faulkner. He seemed, well, Tasmanian. I later discovered that in Latin America he seemed Latin American and in Africa, African. He is also French. Yet he never left nor forsook his benighted home of Oxford, Mississippi, but instead made it his subject. Some years ago I was made an honorary citizen of Faulkner's home town. I felt I had come home. The book or author I came back toWhen I was young, Thomas Bernhard seemed an astringent, even unpleasant taste. But perhaps his throatless laughter, his instinctive revulsion when confronted with power and his incantatory rage speak to our times. The book I rereadMost years, Bohumil Hrabal's Too Loud A Solitude, humane and deeply funny; and Anna Karenina, every decade or so, over the passage of which time I discover mad count Lev has again written an entirely different and even more astounding novel than the one I read last time. The book I could never read againOn being asked to talk in Italy on my favourite comic novel I reread Evelyn Waugh's Scoop. It had corked badly. My fundamental disappointment was with myself, as if I had just lost an arm or a leg, and if I simply looked around it would turn back up. It didn't. The book I discovered later in lifeGreat stylists rarely write great novels. Marguerite Duras, for me a recent revelation, was an exception. For her, style and story were indivisible. Her best books are fierce, sensual, direct – and yet finally mysterious. I have also just read all of Carys Davies's marvellous novels, which deserve a much larger readership. The book I am currently readingKonstantin Paustovsky's memoir The Story of a Life, in which the author meets a poor but happy man in the starving Moscow of 1918 who has a small garden. 'There are all sorts of ways to live. You can fight for freedom, you can try to remake humanity or you can grow tomatoes.' God gets Genesis. History gets Lenin. Literature gets the tomato-growers.

1000lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton reveals she's ENGAGED just two months after going public with girlfriend Andrea Dalton
1000lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton has revealed she's engaged to Andrea Dalton just two months after the couple went public. Tammy, 38 - whose sister Amy, 37, announced she was engaged only last month - let the news slip during an appearance the Creative Chaos podcast on Tuesday. Speaking about how her and Andrea like to spend time together, Tammy explained: 'Me and my fiancée, we just kind of chill at home.' The revelation prompted a shocked response from host Hunter Ezell: 'Hold on, you said fiancée?', before the television star showed off her shiny new engagement ring. Tammy was also proudly sporting an 'Andrea' necklace, later revealing that her and her love interest have been together for 'around three years'. It comes just a couple of months after Tammy - who has lost a staggering 500 pounds - made public her relationship with a woman. Admitting that she hadn't broken the news to her family because 'they'd have something to say about it', the 38-year-old revealed: 'Amy's not the only one that's seeing somebody new. So have I.... 'I have been seeing someone for the past couple months and it's going pretty well.' She added: 'The person I'm dating is a woman. So I haven't told my family because my family's gonna have something to say about it.' 'I think my family probably has more opinions than the world has a**holes because they be farting so much.' After hearing the news during an episode of 1000-Lb Sisters however, Tammy's mother voiced her support for her daughter, saying: 'If Andrea genuinely cares for Tammy and makes her happy, then I'll be happy with her.' Tammy and Andrea, who both live in Kentucky, met on a dating app and have 'talked every day since'. 2025 has indeed proved to have been a happy year for the Slaton family thus far, after Tammy's sister Amy announced her engagement to Brian Lovvorn just a couple of months ago. Amy spoke about her fiancée's proposal during a recent episode of their show, saying: 'Originally, he slipped a green apple Ring Pop on my finger while I was asleep, about two weeks into our relationship. 'I was shocked at first, and I said yes but only if the real proposal was in a haunted house on Halloween.' Just five months after they began dating, Brian made that proposal a reality as he got down on one knee with a gothic ring. Amy recalled the proposal: 'He said something about, "my love for you is crazy, it's scary how compatible we are". 'Just like our matching tattoos say, "scary love".' News of her sister Tammy's engagement comes two years after her husband Caleb Willingham died of an unknown cause at the age of 40. Tammy revealed in an interview following his passing that she no longer had an interest in dating men. 'A few years ago I came out as pansexual but after Caleb passing,' she explained,' I just don't want to be with men anymore. 'I don't know how my family's going to react when I tell them I'm seeing a woman.' Last year Tammy opened up about the moment she found out that Caleb had passed away. During an interview with People, Tammy revealed a friend of Caleb's told her over text message that her husband wasn't doing well - before he informed her just 20 minutes later that he had died. At the time, Tammy was at her home in Kentucky and Caleb was at the Ohio rehab facility she had previously been at with him. 'I was sitting in the fetal position,' she told the publication. 'I got a text message from his friend up there and the text said, 'Caleb's not doing good. They're in there working on him.' 20 minutes later he texted me back and said he was gone. The TLC star also said she had been 'doing fairly well' getting through the tragedy, and had even made a ring and musical note-shaped necklace with the ashes of her late husband. She had grown attached to the jewelry and finds comfort knowing a piece of him remains with her. 'He's going to live on now forever because his memory is encapsulated,' Tammy said. 'Knowing that he's with me, it's helping me pass the day. I find myself grabbing my necklace and holding it a lot. When I take off my jewelry, I feel like it's weird, separation anxiety. I start panicking.' Watching Caleb on their show has also provided her with some joy: 'Every time I miss him, I can always look back at the show and watch it and see what made me happy again.'

Footy star James Tedesco and his pregnant wife step out with their adorable baby daughter as he leads his team's amazing turnaround
NRL star James Tedesco and his wife Maria were spotted enjoying a family day this week at Sydney's Taronga Zoo with their daughter Rosie - as they also prepare to bring a second child into the world. The outing comes as Tedesco, 32, has been in scintillating form for the Roosters as they continue to climb the ladder with finals looming. 'Teddy' has been so impressive that calls have increased for the fullback to return to the representative arena with NSW - but the man himself knows incumbent Dylan Edwards will be near impossible to dislodge. 'Last year was probably hard... it was a bit awkward for me to watch,' Tedesco said on Nine's Freddy and the Eighth podcast. 'I'd been there since 2016, not missed a game, so it was a bit weird for this year I felt really relaxed. I wasn't expecting to play Origin. 'I knew they'd go with Dyl (Edwards) who's playing some great footy.' As he approaches the twilight of his footy career - at least in the NRL - Tedesco is enjoying his life balance. 'I got married (in 2023) and had kids, and now my life revolves around my family,' he said. 'I can't wait to come home and see my little daughter. She runs up, gives me a hug and honestly it doesn't get much better than that. 'I can't wait to keep growing my family.' Tedesco won't have to wait long - his wife Maria is having another girl, due in August. After making his NRL debut with the Wests Tigers in 2012, Tedesco has won two premierships with the Roosters and established himself as one of the code's greatest ever fullbacks. And on Thursday night when in commentary for Triple M during the Panthers and Bulldogs clash at Commbank Stadium, Tedesco effectively predicted the future. 'The more and more this game goes on, Nathan Cleary's going to have a bigger impact, so we'll see what happens,' he told listeners. Seconds later Bulldogs five-eighth Matt Burton had a kick charged down by the Panthers playmaker, who regathered and scored. 'Oh here it is, Cleary,' he said as the moment unfolded.
