Award-winning storytellers Christos Tsiolkas (The Slap and Damascus) and Bryan Washington (Memorial and Lot) have each penned acclaimed new novels that tenderly depict the triumphs and obstacles of love. They join Maeve Marsden on stage for an insightful conversation about putting romance to the page and exploring themes such as desire, dating apps and the ghosts of relationships past.
Tsiolkas’s The In-Between is a contemporary love story between two middle-aged men who find hope in one another despite being scarred by love before, and Washington’s Family Meal is the tale of two young men who fell away from each other before colliding again after a crisis.
Don’t miss these two master writers, together for the very first time, as they reckon with love’s power to change us (for better or worse).
