Trent Dalton: Australian author and journalist on his latest book Gravity Let Me Go

from The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin · host Newstalk ZB

Trent Dalton's made a name for himself as one of Australia's biggest authors, and he's back with something that's more personal. He's best known for his 2018 novel, Boy Swallows Universe, which was adapted into an award-winning Netflix series last year. His new book, Gravity Let Me Go, promises to be more auto-biographical, as it tells the story of a character in crisis as he works to tell more stories. "It's so funny that as I'm talking about a book that is all about that, that I am inside the busiest period of my life...the whole story of Gravity Let Me Go is this journo who keeps obsessing about the story of his lifetime and he's in danger of missing an even bigger scoop, and that's something that's involving his wife and kids, and that's the story of my life."
