Michelle de Kretser and Linn Ullmann: Creativity in the Messy Gaps

I no longer wanted to write novels that read like novels,’ wrote Theory & Practice author Michelle de Kretser. ‘...I wanted a form that allowed for formlessness and mess.

Join these inventive writers discussing their category-defying works that so searingly explore power, womanhood, and memory.
