Annie was lucky enough to catch Bri Lee on her book tour for her
second novel, Seed. Set in Antarctica, Seed
follows two scientists, Mitch and Frances, as they spend a month at
the seed vault that they have been creating and protecting. But as
strange things keep happening to the facility, culminating in their
helicopter failing to pick them up, they both have to grapple with
their life choices and the secrets they have been keeping from each
other and themselves.
We chat about Bri's research trip to McMurdo Sound,
interrogating the Antarctic literary tradition, visions of utopia
and Bri's ongoing project News &
Reviews.
Bri's latest book crush is Plain Life by
Antonia Pont - an essay collection she describes as life
changing.
