Helen Garner: Writing a Life

For more than 50 years, Helen Garner has shaped Australian literature with her fearless writing.

Her Baillie Gifford Prize-winning diaries have been described as the greatest journals since Virginia Woolf's.

Speaking from Australia, she reflects on the discipline and instinct behind decades of observation, and the challenge of capturing the “quietly remarkable texture of ordinary life”.

A rare chance to hear one of our great writers, in conversation with Clare Clark.
