BOOK NOW
Whether the process of a book’s coming into existence is through a rush of white heat or years of labour, the will of a writer to tell that particular story acts as its driving force. Join Sara Dowse (As the Lonely Fly), Jessica Friedmann (Things That Helped) and Mark Tedeschi (Murder at Myall Creek) as they discuss their works, which explore national and personal histories, and their need to tell these stories of justice, passion and the individual’s sometimes tenuous place within society. These fascinating writers all exemplify humanity’s quest for meaning.
