I'm so excited to be on stage at next week's Byron Writers Festival, that my bag is already half-packed.
On Friday 9 August -
I'm interviewing Jane Harrison about her new novel The Visitors (an adaption of her play by the same name). This work imagines first contact between colonisers and First People from the point of view of seven Aboriginal men and their community - written by a First Nations author/playwright.
Then Anne-Marie Te Whiu is interviewing Mykaela Saunders and myself about Blak literature and the First Nations anthologies we created.
On Saturday 10 August, I'm interviewing Yumna Kassab about her hauntingly beautiful new novel Politica. This book is so timely, and is already being short-listed for awards.
