Tony Birch & Fred D’Aguiar: The Secrets We Tell

Silence breaks. Truths materialise. And those coaxed into invisibility emerge from the shadows. Deirdre Osborne leads award-winning Aboriginal Australian author Tony Birch and British-Guyanese poet and novelist Fred D’Aguiar in a conversation about their latest novels. In Women & Children, Birch ignites family strength against generational trauma, whilst in For the Unnamed, D’Aguiar gives voice to a victorious Black jockey whose name has been hidden from history.
