Andrew O’Hagan, Anna Goldsworthy, Siang Lu and Sophie Gee have dedicated their lives to their love of literature.

They will share their reflections on the formative books that shaped them, insights into their writing lives, and hopes and fears for the book at this moment in human history. We invite you to come along and honour the precious books you love - the ones that struck a chord when you were a kid, the ones printed on your heart.

This event is presented in partnership with the Canberra Writers Festival. The National Library of Australia is proud to be a foundation partner.
