Gravity Let Me Go: Trent Dalton

Join Australia’s #1 bestselling author Trent Dalton in conversation with Richard Glover for an unforgettable exploration of love, ambition, family and truth-telling.


From Boy Swallows Universe to the deeply personal Gravity Let Me Go, Dalton reveals the stories we want to tell the world and those we shouldn’t, and how the stories we keep locked away are so often what come to define us.
