AWW22 This Campus Life - Diana Reid and Indyana Schneider

Chaired by Victoria Purman.


The transformative excitement of university life has been little
mined by Australian fiction. In their immensely readable and
impressively complex debut novels, Diana Reid and Indyana
Schneider explore that most liminal time of campus life to
excellent effect. Diana’s Love and Virtue traverses feminism,
sexuality and the precocious intellectualism of first year life
on a Sydney campus. Indyana Schneider weaves music, literature,
art, dance, sex and the exquisite pain and pleasure of first love
into student life at Oxford.
