Literary brunch: In conversation with Michelle de Kretser

About Literary brunch: In conversation with Michelle de Kretser

We’re delighted to welcome Michelle de Kretser to Wordstorm for the first time to discuss her fifth novel. This Life to Come is a series of interwoven stories that cast a critical eye on Australian society while also taking readers to Paris and Sri Lanka, described by British author Marcel Theroux as “narratives about love, betrayal and motherhood in a novel that explores the violence storytelling does to truth”.

Michelle de Kretser will be ‘in conversation’ with local writer Varunika Ruwanpura. Michelle de Kretser is a writer, editor and critic. Her novels include The Rose Grower, The Hamilton Case, and The Lost Dog, which won the NSW Premier’s Book of the Year Award and the Christina Stead Prize for Fiction, and the 2008 ALS Gold Medal. The Lost Dog was also longlisted for both the Man Booker and the Orange Prize. Her next novel, Questions of Travel, received 14 honours, including winning the 2013 Miles Franklin Literary Award.

A buffet brunch is included in the ticket price.
