AWW22 Wild Motherhood - Briohny Doyle and Rachel Yoder

Chaired by Tali Lavi.


Rachel Yoder’s Nightbitch is one of the wildest debuts of the
year, a feral, often hilarious take on the impact of new
motherhood, as a resentful, flailing woman finds herself
transforming into a dog. The monstrousness of mothers takes a
more sombre form in Briohny Doyle’s Echolalia, in which a young
mother’s alienation from her family and the shrinking world she
inhabits lead to a psychological disintegration that matches that
of the scorching world outside.
