LITERATURE WEEKEND IN THE CITY
Robbie Arnott
Join Michelle Johnston for a conversation with Tasmanian writer Robbie Arnott, author of the exquisite novel The Rain Heron. At once nostalgic and futuristic, this novel cements Robbie’s place as one of Australia’s most inventive and sensitive writers. His interest in strong women is a hallmark of his work and this novel does not disappoint as he maps the arcs of women making lives out of a climate-affected and damaged land.
