AWW22 Love Stories - Trent Dalton

Chaired by Nicole Abadee


The genesis of Trent Dalton’s Love Stories was a blue Olivetti
typewriter and a street corner in the Brisbane CBD. After
inheriting the typewriter from the mother of a friend, Trent took
to the streets and solicited real stories from passers-by:
“Sentimental writer collecting love stories. Do you have one to
share?” The result is a warm, poignant, funny and deeply humane
book that weaves the many stories that were shared about love in
all its guises with generous memories of Trent’s own special
moments.
