#About the event
Duration: 75 minutes
He’s been writing about coastal life for over 40 years – but instead of publishing a new novel, this four-time Miles Franklin winner has delivered a three-part natural history series for television. What makes an artist step so far outside his lane at this stage of his career? How does a novelist reconcile a lifelong defence of ‘useless beauty’ with the urgent need for action? A reflection on writing in the throes of a climate emergency and extinction crisis. Concludes with a 15-minute Q&A.
