About

So many of us remember adolescence with a confounding combination of nostalgia and discomfort, and our journeys into adulthood, into becoming, have long been inspiration for literary fiction. Join these three outstanding authors, in conversation with Marieke Hardy, as they reflect on our timeless fascination with youth, the epic nature of teenage narratives, and the art of writing fiction about young adults for grown-up readers.

Book

The Underworld
The much awaited new novel from the Miles Franklin Award-winning author, Sofie Laguna. The Underworld is for every reader you know; thinkers, laughers, empaths, quirky folk, queer folk, nostalgists, the young and those getting on. Readers seeking a happy ending and anyone ready to feel. Anyone who has ever been fourteen.
