This week, Clare speaks with the amazing Kat from @bearlearn, who knows these two texts deeply and is therefore able to identify and analyse the fundamental points of comparison between them. This conversation considers the different ways that Szubanski and Lahiri construct their respective texts, and the crucial parallel between them in their advocation of seeking an understanding of one's parents in order to understand one's identity. Kat's ideas and analysis are really interesting and unique, and ultimately reflect why these two texts are important reading for all Australians.
Besides her excellent knowledge of these two texts, Kat is also revolutionising the way we take track our text notes and quotes with her BEAR Quotes and BEAR Learn services (check it out here: https://bearlearn.com/)
