Trent Dalton
ABOUT THE SHOW
There are one thousand stories up and down your street. There are nine thousand stories in your neighbourhood. This is the one about Noah Cork and the most important story he almost missed in pursuit of his dreams. Dark, gritty, hilarious and unexpected, Gravity Let Me Go is a novel about marriage and ambition; truth-telling and truth-omitting; self-deception and self-preservation. It’s a novel about the stories we want to tell the world and those we shouldn’t, and how the stories we keep locked away are so often the stories that come to define us.
It’s the story of a murder.
It’s the story of a marriage.
It’s the story of a lifetime.
Trent Dalton’s fourth novel is ‘the most personal book [he’s] ever written’. Join him for an evening of splendid conversation with Catherine Milne to launch Gravity Let Me Go.
