Widely lauded as one of Australia’s greatest living writers, Tasmanian novelist and Booker Prize winner Richard Flanagan unearths histories that must be remembered if they are not to be repeated. In his latest novel, The Living Sea of Waking Dreams, a family’s otherworldly vanishing allegorically mirrors the wildfires that have so recently scorched the face of Australia beyond recognition. The New Yorker's Alexandra Schwartz will interview Flanagan about his work. |
