Michelle de Kretser: Beautiful, Radical Ideas

Michelle de Kretser’s books smash through all preconceived notions about fiction, blending artful social observation with forms fizzing with brainy playfulness. Today, the Rathbones Folio Prize-winning author of Scary Monsters discusses Theory & Practice: her latest boundary-breaking work that’s part novel, essay, and memoir. Talking with Chitra Ramaswamy, the celebrated Australian writer muses on the antics of critical theory, her creative process of ‘questing, jesting, testing’, and coming to acknowledge the shortcomings of Virginia Woolf.
