#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
The brutal beauty of Australia’s landscape has long fascinated writers and artists, as quaint, Rousseauan visions of nature routinely collapse into fire and flood. These novelists examine the psychological topography of Australian fiction and our passive aggressive relationship to a volatile Mother Earth.
