An Evening with Anna Funder
Anna Funder, one of the world’s most celebrated literary minds and the author behind Stasiland, All That I Am, and Wifedom, takes the stage to explore the question that has defined her career: what does it take to bring back stories left out of history?
In this unscripted live event, Funder goes beyond the page to speak candidly about the research, primary sources, and arguments behind three landmark books. A rare live appearance from one of Australia’s most important writers: this is not an evening to be missed.
Presented in partnership with Thinkable.
