LITERATURE WEEKEND IN THE CITY
Victoria Hannan
In this highly anticipated debut, Kokomo, Victoria Hannan explores a mother-daughter relationship that is built around grief and misunderstanding. In what has been heralded as a great ‘millennial’ novel, Victoria explores loss, abandonment, homecoming and love. The book deals with what happens when Mina rushes home from London to Melbourne because her reclusive mother Elaine has finally left the house. It traces their relationship, while offering powerful commentary on the anxieties of falling in love in a time of social media and personal alienation.
Victoria is appearing via live stream and will be in conversation with onstage moderator Sunili Govinnage.
