Michelle de Kretser\u2019s award-winning novels include\u202fThe Rose Grower,\u202fThe Hamilton Case, The Lost Dog,\u202fQuestions of Travel and The Life to Come. She has won or been shortlisted for many major national and international literary awards and is the twice-winner of both the Miles Franklin Literary Award and Christina Stead Prize for Fiction.
\nIn her latest novel, Scary Monsters, Michelle has experimented with form to create a novel in two halves, printed back-to-back and upside down, disorienting the reader just as migration has disrupted and disoriented her characters' lives. She speaks with Jason Steger about Scary Monsters and the necessity of 'playing' with writing and storytelling.
