When The Book Thief was published twenty years ago, its author Markus Zusak had no idea it would become a global success that it has - 17 million copies sold in more than 63 languages, and a feature film starring Geoffrey Rush and Emily Watson. Ahead of the Adelaide Writers Week, Markus Zusak joins Sunday Extra to reflect on those twenty years and the chaos in life that is needed to generate a good story.
