Holly Gramazio, curator, novelist (The Husbands).

My guest today is Holly Gramazio, a writer, curator, and game designer. Born in Australia, she earned her PhD in Creative Writing at the University of Adelaide , then moved to London where she founded the Somerset House -based games festival Now Play This , an annual celebration of experimental games. In 2019 she wrote the script for Dicey Dungeons , a game that subsequently sold 850,000 copies and won the Indiecade Grand Jury Prize . In April this year, Vintage Books published her debut novel “ The Husbands ”, in which a young single woman discovers a limitless supply of husbands in her attic. The Times has described the book as “a brilliant satire on the Tinder generation’s commitment issues.” LINKS Holly's website The Husbands generator Now Play This festival Simon's write up of this year's NPT (Photo by Diana Patient.)
