SWF: Father Figures

Join acclaimed authors John Birmingham and David Vann as they reflect on how they have grappled with their fathers’ deaths, and how they subsequently brought their memories to bear on the page. John is the author of On Father, a beautifully written homage and unflinching account of surviving profound grief. In Halibut on the Moon, David draws on his father’s suicide to deliver a darkly intimate portrait of a man teetering between life and death. They appear in conversation with ABC Radio Sydney’s Richard Glover.
