Author Talk with Michael Burrows

Michael Burrows is a Perth-born and bred author, awarded Sydney Morning Herald's Best Young Australian Novelist in 2022, and shortlisted for the 2019 Fogarty Literary Award for his first novel, Where the Line Breaks. He will be presenting an ANZAC-inspired talk on "Rewriting the Past: Historical Fiction and the Truth".

As a middle child in the creative chaos of six children, all of whom grew up to have some kind of artistic streak, Michael never stood a chance. After travelling to London to work at the 2012 Olympics and backpacking through Europe for a year, the great British weather persuaded him to settle in the UK. Michael completed his MA in 2017 at City, University of London, where he wrote the first draft of his novel.

Pizza and drinks will be available at this event.
