Winner of the 2021 Booker Prize, Damon Galgut discusses his novel The Promise: a menacing and at times mordantly funny drama that charts the deep hurts and injustices of South Africa’s past and present. It was hailed by Booker judges as “a spectacular demonstration of how the novel can make us see and think afresh”. Damon sits down for an intimate and illuminating conversation with his longtime friend, Miles Franklin–winning author Michelle de Kretser, whose newest novel Scary Monsters tackles similarly big themes with an equally unsparing eye. Damon will be appearing live in person.
Damon Galgut appears thanks to the support of Rosie Block.
