Three darlings of Australian literature come together to share their new novels and dish their tips and tricks to writing contemporary fiction.
Madeleine Gray’s new novel Chosen Family is a sexy, romantic, queer epic that charts the love, guilt, shame and joy of an 18-year friendship. Bri Lee’s Seed, set in the isolation of Antarctica’s icy expanse, questions legacy, fairness and our worst fears when two biologists are left stranded. Set deep in the Australian bush, Kate Mildenhall’s literary thriller The Hiding Place explores deception and self-deception and how far one will go to protect what they feel they ought to have.
Join Madeleine, Bri and Kate in conversation with Bridie Jabour to discuss writing their latest works and the life of a contemporary author.
