AWW22 Cloud Cuckoo Land - Anthony Doerr

Chaired by Michael Williams


Pulitzer Prize-winner Anthony Doerr’s best-selling All the Light
We Cannot See was particularly popular in Australia. His new
book, Cloud Cuckoo Land, described by The Guardian as a “lungful
of fresh air”, crystallises around an imagined novel written by
historical author Diogenes for his recuperating niece. A fabulous
adventure story, the book becomes the common thread throughout
Anthony’s magical novel, with all its subsequent characters
connected to this book within a book, whether as champion,
custodian or threat. A joyous epic story of survival and love.
