Great Conversations features interviews with authors and writers, exploring books, writing and literary culture from Australia and the world.

Today's episode features Gregory discussing his new novel A Sand Archive.

A Sand Archive wings its way between Paris and Geelong as we follow FB Herschell, a young engineer who must solve the problem of stabilising sand dunes to ensure the safe construction of The Great Ocean Road. Landing in Paris on the cusp of the 1968 student protests, Herschell discovers his project is intimately connected to the ways in which we grow and shape the world and we understand our place within nature.
