Celebrating the release of Spinning Around – The Kylie Playlist with readings by some of the queer authors.
Australian icon Kylie Minogue is the musical muse for this sparkling new anthology. Twenty-four writers, a third of whom identify as LGBTQIA+, used a Kylie Minogue song as the springboard for a new, original piece of work, covering the genres of crime, memoir, speculative fiction, poetry and science fiction − from Kylie’s 1987 release ‘I Should Be So Lucky’ all the way through to her newest single ‘Tension’.
