Robbie Arnott, Tasma Walton, Yann Martel and Kate Evans live-streamed on our big screen as part of the Sydney Writers' Festival.
Please note: This is a live-streamed event. No presenters will be at Castlemaine Library.
A favourite Festival event for historical fiction buffs returns with stories from near and far.
Robbie Arnott’s Dusk, set in the mountains of Tasmania, and Tasma Walton’s I Am Nannertgarrook, based on a true story from Tasma’s family, were both awarded the ARA Historical Novel Prize for their brilliant stories from Australian history. While Booker Prize–winning writer Yann Martel’s first book in a decade, Son of Nobody, features the discovery of a new perspective from the Trojan War.
Sink into these stories of the past with Robbie, Tasma and Yann, in conversation with ABC Radio National’s Kate Evans.
