The Memories We Inherit
Sun 12 Sep, 12pmState Library Victoria, Village Roadshow Theatrette
In their latest books, Sam van Zweden (Eating with My Mouth Open) and Krissy Kneen (The Three Burials of Lotty Kneen) excavate memory to pursue truths about their own flesh and blood and pay homage to their family, while making poignant statements about what we inherit in our bodies, our minds and our sense of self. They join ABC RN’s Sarah L’Estrange to speak about how their genre-bending works weave together different forms of storytelling to reveal the underpinnings of their very identities.
