Trent Dalton
30 September 2025
We’re very excited to be launching Trent Dalton’s upcoming novel, Gravity Let Me Go, this September!
7:30pm, Tue 30 Sept 2025
Brisbane Powerhouse
Dark, gritty, hilarious and unexpected, Gravity Let Me Go is a novel about marriage and ambition; truth-telling and truth-omitting; self-deception and self-preservation. It’s a novel about the stories we want to tell the world and those we shouldn’t, and how the stories we keep locked away are so often the stories that come to define us.
Trent Dalton’s fourth novel is ‘the most personal book [he’s] ever written’. He’ll be joined by Catherine Milne for an evening of splendid conversation about Gravity Let Me Go. Click the button below to book now.
