One of Australia's most fearless writers, Alexis Wright (appearing remotely) is the only person to win both of Australia's most prestigious prizes (the Miles Franklin Award and Stella Prize) twice. Her panoramic new work, Praiseworthy, takes inspiration from the oral storytelling traditions of Waanyi people from the Gulf of Carpentaria as much as international writers, including Carlos Fuentes. Hear this giant of Australian letters, joining us remotely from Queensland, discussing her astounding work and being a 'massive antidote' to short attention spans. Chaired by Deirdre Osborne.
