When writer Catherine Deveny faced the end of a 17-year relationship with the father of her children, she had no idea what lay on the other side of the months of tumult – she just knew she had to create space for a new life.
But this wasn’t the first time Deveny had taken a plunge into the unknown or let go of conventional assumptions. In True North, she shares how she emerged from an oppressive Catholic upbringing in working-class Reservoir, found her tribe in Fitzroy’s share houses in the 80s, and learnt to live life on her own terms as she navigated the highs and lows of a creative life, family legacies and intimate relationships.
Catherine Deveny is the author of It's Not My Fault They Print Them (2007), Say When (2008) and Free To A Good Home (2009). She is a television comedy writer, comedian, author, social commentator and broadcaster well known for her work as columnist with the Age newspaper and as a ABC regular. She cites her biggest influences as Bill Hicks, Richard Dawkins, Billy Bragg and Alice Miller.
Janet Watson Kruse is an Australian stage, screen and voice actor. On screen, she is best known for TV series’ Glitch, Neighbours and Winners & Losers, shorts The Laneway and Inside, and feature films Love, Tea & Epiphany and Out of Order. Her theatre roles include Vi in The Memory of Water at Chapel off Chapel, and a nine-year stint as Ellen Kelly, mother of Ned Kelly, at the Old Melbourne Gaol. True North by Catherine Deveny is Janet’s first narration for Bolinda audio.
