Hi!

Today, we are so thrilled to be bringing you this Life Lessons conversation with award-winning author, Trent Dalton. Trent Dalton is the author of so many novels you’ve probably read already, including All Our Shimmering Skies, Lola In The Mirror, Love Stories, and, of course, his widely acclaimed, semi-autobiographical novel, Boy Swallows Universe, which has been adapted into a seven-part Netflix series and theatre production. 

In this conversation, Trent discusses some of the beautiful, vivid memories that comprise the story of his childhood, as told in Boy Swallows Universe. He also shares a truly magical anecdote about falling in love with his wife, Fiona, and the lead-up to the moment he eventually opened up about his feelings for her at a Powderfinger concert. 

Pick up Trent’s new book, Gravity Let Me Go, right here.
