Two absolute masters of Australian letters take the stage. Steve Toltz (discussing his savagely funny pandemic-afterlife romp, A Rising of the Lights) and literary powerhouse Debra Adelaide (recounting the humour and compassion of her latest release, When I Am Sixty-Four) explore the art of balancing profound tragedy with crackling wit. Expect laughs, gasps, and everything in between. Moderated by Namila Benson.
A Rising of the Lights
From the Booker-shortlisted author, an audacious comic lament for a world that no longer knows itself.
