AWW23: Novel Worlds - Gail Jones & Brigitta Olubas

Chair: Mireille Juchau


Gail Jones' and Shirley Hazzard’s hypnotic novels describe
how moments of historical intensity can shift and slow
time; both attend to how art can transfigure a life. In
her brilliant biography, Brigitta Olubas surveys Hazzard’s life
and work with a novelist’s eye for the private and intimate.
Jones’ Salonika Burning is set in Greece
where four historical figures undertake caring at the frontlines
of war. What craft and style decisions establish these fraught
encounters? Join highly acclaimed biographer Olubas and
award-winning novelist Jones in conversation with Mireille
Juchau.
