Gala Night of Storytelling 2016: The Book that Changed Me: Anna Funder
At this year’s Gala Night of Storytelling, ten of Australia’s best thinkers, entertainers and storytellers shared how and why certain books have shaped their thinking.
In this video, Anna Funder shares her relationship with Christina Stead's Australian classic, The Man Who Loved Children. The novel changed Funder because, in it, ‘I saw how literature might liberate you.’
