Brigitta Olubas on the Life and Work of Shirley Hazzard


Listen Later

Hear from author and English Professor Brigitta Olubas as she shared insight from Shirley Hazzard: A Writing Life, her fascinating biography of the great Australian novelist of stories such as The Great Fire and The Transit of Venus. She charts the globetrotting life of Hazzard and a celebrated body of work that, in grappling with ideas of power, passion and longing, yielded some of the world’s most beautiful and enduring fiction.

This event was presented by the Sydney Writers' Festival and supported by UNSW Sydney.
