The Bookshelf Presents: The Top 100 Books of the 21st century
Join us for this live to air broadcast of ABC Radio National’s weekly book review program, The Bookshelf, as it looks back at the Top 100 Books of the 21st century.
In anticipation of Radio National’s exciting audience vote and broadcast countdown event this October, the Top 100 Books, we bring together Festival guests, Catherine Chidgey, Mariana Enriquez and Alan Hollinghurst to join hosts Kate Evans from ABC Radio National’s The Bookshelf and Claire Nichols from ABC Radio National’s The Book Show to discuss the most influential works in both fiction and non-fiction. With an introduction by poet Afra Atiq.
From gripping novels that have captured our imaginations to thought-provoking non-fiction that has reshaped our understanding of the world, this event will celebrate the literary achievements that have defined the past quarter-century.
