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

In today's episode we remember Peter Corris.

Peter Corris wrote more than ninety books in his lifetime, including forty two novels in the Cliff Hardy series, which has seen him acknowledged as the Godfather of Australian Crime fiction. In this conversation from 2015 Andrew and Peter discuss the creation of Cliff Hardy, the writing game and Andrew's shameful lack of crime fiction reading.
