Award-winning author Will Kostakis joins us to discuss We Could Be Something, his latest novel for young adults. He speaks about this new emotional rollercoaster of a novel and the two young men at its heart, each on a journey of discovery that converges on the same street in Darlinghurst. It's part coming-out story, part falling-in-love story, part relationship breakdown story, part extended Greek family story. Will is joined in conversation by Adrian Mouhajer.
This event is Auslan interpreted.
