Sydney Writers Festival

Vision Australia Library is proud to commence our partnership with the Sydney Writers Festival in 2026.  We are privileged to support a festival that brings together a broad and engaged community around the sharing of books, writing and ideas. By showcasing a wide range of Australian and international writers, the Festival helps sustain Australia’s literary community and culture as a whole.

Event Description

Vision Australia Library is excited to announce multi-award-winning author, Trent Dalton, will be In Conversation discussing his latest novel, ‘Gravity Let Me Go’.  

Dark, gritty, hilarious and unexpected, ‘Gravity Let Me Go’ is Trent Dalton's deeply personal exploration of marriage and ambition, truth-telling and truth-omitting, self-deception and self-preservation. It's a novel about the stories we want to tell the world and those we shouldn't, and how the stories we keep locked away are so often the stories that come to define us.

Trent will be In Conversation withy Cassie McCullagh. Cassie co-hosts ‘The Bookshelf’ on ABC Radio National, a weekly review of the latest Australian and international fiction, and presents Radio National’s ‘The Weekend’.
