Description:

Trent Dalton is one of Australia’s most celebrated storytellers – a journalist-turned-bestselling author whose debut novel Boy Swallows Universe became a global phenomenon that leapt from page to Netflix and the stage. Now he’s back with Gravity Let Me Go, a novel he calls his most personal yet.

In this episode, Trent opens up about the impact that the success of Boy Swallows Universe had on his family, why living with him isn’t always the love story readers might imagine, the lessons fatherhood keeps teaching him, and the unfiltered message he has for Australian men. Along the way, he shares the small, grounding moments – like wandering his local supermarket in a hi-vis vest – that remind him where the real stories begin.

Trent Dalton’s new novel, Gravity Let Me Go, is published by HarperCollins Australia on September 30.
