Rumaan Alam, Robbie Arnott, Samantha Harvey, Torrey Peters: State of the Art: The Novel

The novel has continued to evolve since its inception as a major literary form centuries ago.

It has seen styles and genres come and go, adaptation and translation between languages and cultures and countless publishing trends and cycles.

In this panel discussion featuring four extraordinary novelists, Rumaan Alam (Entitlement), Robbie Arnott (Dusk), Samantha Harvey (Orbital) and Torrey Peters (Stag Dance), join host Kate Evans (ABC Radio National’s The Bookshelf) to consider the novel, its place in contemporary times and how their work fits into the larger literary landscape.

Samantha Harvey appears thanks to the support of Fiona and Matthew Playfair.

This session has an AUSLAN interpreter.
