Samantha Harvey in Conversation with Ashley Hay

Presented in partnership with Sydney Writers’ Festival

Join Booker Prize winner Samantha Harvey for a powerful literary conversation in the heart of the Shoalhaven.
In a special event as part of Bundanon’s live program, acclaimed author Samantha Harvey will speak with fellow writer Ashley Hay about her award-winning novel Orbital, which contemplates Earth from space through the eyes of six astronauts aboard the International Space Station.

What happens when you’re separated from the planet that made you? How do we reimagine the familiar in an unfamiliar light?

Harvey, celebrated for her formally daring novels and lyrical prose, will explore themes of human connection, environment, and the shifting lens of perspective that informs all her writing—from The Wilderness to The Western Wind, and her personal non-fiction The Shapeless Unease.

This is a rare opportunity to hear from one of contemporary literature’s most inventive voices.
