Body of Work: conversations with Australian literary icons

Booker Prize-shortlisted Australian author Charlotte Wood will be joined by author Jaclyn Crupi, to reflect on her creative risk-taking across her 30-year writing career.

Award-winning author Charlotte Wood is the author of seven works of fiction and three non-fiction books, and has been celebrated for her stylistic originality, psychological depth and embodied prose.

From her debut Pieces of a Girl to her Booker Prize-shortlisted Stone Yard Devotional, her works of fiction have reflected on ideas of agency, control and chaos, climate catastrophe, female rage and grief.

This in-conversation event will be a close study of the creative risks Charlotte Wood has taken with each new project over her nearly 30-year writing career – from her Stella Prize-winning dystopian novel The Natural Way of Things to her works of non-fiction such as Love & Hunger: Thoughts on the Gift of Food.

This event is presented as part of Body of Work – a free, in-conversation series with some of Australia’s greatest living literary icons, presented by Fed Square and curated by author and bookseller Jaclyn Crupi.

Doors will be open from 5.45pm
