Live stream: Susan Choi - Flashlight (SWF, Live & Local)

Susan Choi 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.

Louisa goes for a walk along the beach with her father, but only she returns.

The new novel from Susan Choi, multi-award-winning writer including the National Book Award and a Lambda Literary Award, is a sweeping, international family drama that was shortlisted for the 2025 Booker Prize. Flashlight, described by The Guardian as a return to the great American novel of the 20th century, beguiled readers for its examination of absence and silence in a small family rocked by the assumed death of Louisa’s father.

Join Susan as she discusses relationships and alienation in her new novel, in conversation with Beejay Silcox.
