A punchy and powerful novel about the redemptive power of great literature, from industry insider, John Purcell.
While still in his twenties, John Purcell opened a second-hand bookshop – imaginatively called 'John's Bookshop' – in which he sat for ten years reading, ranting and writing. Since then he has written (under a pseudonym) a series of successful novels and, as part of his previous role as Director of Books at Booktopia, interviewed hundreds of writers about their work. John has also appeared at literary festivals and on TV, and been featured in prominent newspapers and magazines. Alice Barrington established her love of story touring pantomime classics to remote Western Australian communities as a teen. She has since featured in a myriad of theatre productions across the country, including works by the Sydney Theatre Company, and has starred alongside some of Australia’s greats in small screen favourites, including All Saints and Offspring. Alice is a diverse and dynamic voice artist with a wealth of experience in commercial, corporate and live voice performance.
'A slick, sharp novel about books and relationships, drenched in
delicious insider detail from the book industry. Impossible not to
enjoy.'
*Matt Haig, author of How to Stop Time*
'A juicy page turner that takes a scalpel to the literary world,
written with deep insider intel and a gleeful sense of mischief,
The Girl on the Page is a wickedly clever, razor-sharp satire of
lust, betrayal and ambition.'
*Caroline Baum*
'John Purcell triumphs with a scalpel in one hand and his heart in
the other. It is a gripping, dark comedy of a novel which
eviscerates the cynicism of contemporary publishing while uttering
a cri du coeur for what is happening to writers and readers this
century.'
*Blanche d'Alpuget*
