Watch three of Australiaโs most compelling authors discuss the themes and ideas animating their new novels. Madeleine Gray, Bri Lee and Kate Mildenhall join host Veronica Sullivan, in a lively panel discussion. Showcasing the depth and scope of Australian literary fiction.
Originally presented on Wednesday 19 November 2025 by The Wheeler Centre
Madeleine Grayโs sophomore novel 'Chosen Family' offers a funny, sexy and intimate portrait of female friendship in a work that delves into the complexities of queer family, alternative parenting and what it means to love somebody across decades.
A relationship is put to the test and secrets are revealed in bestselling author Bri Leeโs suspenseful literary thriller. Dropping readers into the landscapes of Antarctica and the world of the antinatalist movement, 'Seed' offers an uneasy glimpse into isolation, love and our worst fears.
Kate Mildenhallโs literary thriller 'The Hiding Place' tells a twisty, razor-sharp tale of deception, self-deception and how far people will go to protect what they feel they ought to have, in a compulsively readable novel billed as 'White Lotus' meets 'The Slap'.
