If you missed it, you can catch up on this recording of the event.
Christos Tsiolkas has long been one of Australia’s most glittering literary treasures – and thanks to the success of his bestselling barbecue-stopper The Slap, he’s now a household name.
In his sixth novel, Barracuda, Tsiolkas once again holds up a mirror to the deepest insecurities and most dearly held dreams of middle class Australia.
Tsiolkas delivers a searing exploration of failure, and how to come back from it — on the back of his greatest literary success.
Join our foremost chronicler of contemporary Melbourne for a typically tender and coruscating look at how we live now, in conversation with Michael Williams.
