OBF 2025: Bongani Kona interviews Frankie Murrey (A Collection of Gaps)

Loading player...
Pagecast was at the 2025 Open Book Festival, where we spoke with authors about their writing journeys and the stories they share with readers. In this episode, Bongani Kona interviews Frankie Murrey about her latest work, A Collection of Gaps.

There’s this moon in the sky. And I want to say – not now,
moon, I’ve got work to do. But you know the moon. She never
listens. So I sit and watch her for a while. Admire those curves.
Whisper secrets and cigarette smoke love.
