Welcome to the first-ever episode of The Adaptation - a monthly review series from The Shameless Book Club.
On the 18th of June, 2018, Trent Dalton’s debut novel - Boy Swallows Universe - was released into the world. The book came with some serious hype - expectations were high. Almost six years on, there’s a seven-episode Netflix series that brings Darra - a south-western suburb in Brisbane, Queensland - to life. We’re here to determine if the adaptation does the book justice.
Big thanks to the Australian Open for making this episode possible. Head to Ticketmaster now to buy your tickets to the Australian Open.
This episode was audio produced by Annabelle Lee.
