Sydney Writers’ Festival is Australia’s largest celebration of books and ideas, bringing the world’s finest authors and esteemed thinkers together for insightful and exhilarating conversations and discussions.
The Sydney Writers’ Festival Live & Local program offers a free livestream of Festival sessions to libraries and community centres across regional Australia to share directly with their audiences.
Australian icon Markus Zusak is best known for his New York Times bestseller The Book Thief, celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.
In his new book, Three Wild Dogs and the Truth, Markus turns to non-fiction.
When the Zusaks decided to bring three big pound dogs into their home, they weren’t expecting the chaos that would ensue. But, as all animal lovers know, nothing brings a family together quite like our beloved pets.
Join Markus to reflect on two decades of The Book Thief and discuss his new book’s emphasis on our human need for connection, with Richard Glover.
