Rebecca Makkai In Conversation
16 October 2023
Rebecca Makkai was already an acclaimed novelist when her brilliant and heart breaking opus, The Great Believers, made her a literary star. Darkly funny and poignant, her new book I Have Some Questions for You is another sophisticated page-turner. Don’t miss this wonderful author in conversation with Brisbane’s finest interlocutor, Griffith Review editor Carody Culver.
