How does a writer bring colour to the silence, contemplation, pleasure and melancholy of solitude?
In a special meeting of literary minds, Ailsa Piper invites bestselling American author Lauren Groff (Matrix, Fates and Furies) and acclaimed Australian writer Charlotte Wood (The Natural Way of Things, The Weekend) to compare notes on depicting isolated characters in their richly rendered new novels.
Groff’s thrilling The Vaster Wilds follows a spirited girl trying to survive alone in the wilderness, while Wood’s mesmerising Stone Yard Devotional depicts a woman holed up in a small religious community hidden in the stark plains of the Monaro, NSW.
