Our live Melbourne Writers Festival recording with debut author Chloe Elisabeth Wilson is here!
Chloe Elisabeth Wilson is the author of debut novel, Rytual, a story about aimless 20-something Melburnian Marnie Sellick. She gets swept up into the glamorous world of Rytual Cosmetica, a beauty brand where everything is not what it seems and Friday Night Drinks are very important. Marnie embarks on a journey of girl-bossery and discovery, helped along by the enigmatic beauty CEO, Luna Peters.
Rytual has been described as both a darkly funny deconstruction of the beauty industry and a gripping examination of career, feminism and desire. It asks the question: what if your favourite cult beauty brand... was actually a cult? Rytual blends a number of genres together: psychological thriller, comedy, sci-fi and contemporary lit to create a truly gripping read. In this chat we hear a snippet from her book, discuss the themes above and chat about all things work in a post-girl boss world. You can purchase Rytual here.
Chloe lives between Los Angeles and Naarm. Her work has been published by Refinery29, The Guardian, and ABC Everyday and she’s worked as a researcher for Shameless Media. Keep up to date with Chloe (and her second novel!) here.
