Listen "Read Smart: Richard Flanagan"
Episode Synopsis
Tune into our next 'In Conversation' podcast, where we chat to Richard Flanagan, who has been shortlisted for his brilliant book, Question 7. From the affair between H.G. Wells and Rebecca West to developments in 1930s nuclear physics, Flanagan has crafted a poignant love song to his island home, his parents, and the haunting echoes of the past in this book. Through a hypnotic blend of dream, history, science, and memory, he reveals how our lives are often shaped by the stories of others and the narratives we create about ourselves.
