Two-time Miles Franklin Award-winning author Michelle de Kretser has never been afraid of formal experimentation. Her seventh and latest book supports that idea. It is bold and, once again, a heady mix of serious intellectual inquiry with beautifully observed characterisation and formal play. This week on the show, Michael sits down with Michelle for a conversation about Theory & Practice and she reveals why writing it felt so different to all of her other books.   Reading list: The Rose Grower, Michelle de Kretser, 1999 The Hamilton Case, Michelle de Kretser, 2003 The Lost Dog, Michelle de Kretser, 2007 Questions of Travel, Michelle de Kretser, 2012 Springtime, Michelle de Kretser, 2014 The Life to Come, Michelle de Kretser, 2017 On Shirley Hazzard, Michelle de Kretser, 2019 Scary Monsters, Michelle de Kretser, 2021 Theory & Practice, Michelle de Kretser, 2024   You can find these books and all the others we mentioned at your favourite independent book store.    Socials: Stay in touch with Read This on Instagram and Twitter Guest: Michelle de Kretser
