Frances Whiting: the Best Kind of Beautiful Brisbane

Duration: 60 minutes

Frances Whiting may be known to millions of readers as one of Australia’s most popular newspaper and magazine columnists, but it is in her extraordinary novels – Walking on Trampolines and The Best Kind of Beautiful – that her work transcends, exploring the landscapes of Brisbane and its surrounds with a brilliant and empathic eye. She talks to Matthew Condon about the physical and emotional impact of place and why Queensland produces writers unique to the rest of the country. Curated by Matthew Condon.
