Lauren Groff & Melissa Lucashenko: New Worlds

Colonial pasts are brought to life in two bold historical novels. In Edenglassie – British colonists’ name for Brisbane – Melissa Lucashenko tells two tales of First Nations people and how modern Australia was created. In The Vaster Wilds, a girl flees her 17th century Jamestown settlement as Lauren Groff explores the mythology that made America. They join us to discuss the origins of the New World.
