Beloved author returns to SWF in this career-spanning conversation

Trent Dalton has captured readers with books like Boy Swallows Universe and All Our Shimmering Skies.

His storytelling voice and compelling characters cement him as a mainstay of Australian literature. His new novel, Lola in the Mirror is a darkly funny, and beautiful story of life, death and a country neck-deep in a national housing crisis. Join Trent as he discusses his process of writing the intricacies of the real world, and real people, onto the page. A supremely compelling and entertaining speaker, Trent will be in conversation with Cassie McCullagh.
