Trent Dalton is a journalist and Australia's #1 bestselling author. He's best known for his 2018 semi-autobiographical novel Boy Swallows Universe which was adapted into an award-winning Netflix series last year. The show became Netflix's most successful Australian-made show, ranking #5 globally and #1 in Australia within its first few weeks.
Now, Trent's back with a new book Gravity Let Me Go. It's a novel about the stories we want to tell the world, those we shouldn't and how the stories that we keep locked away are so often the stories that come to define us.
Trent speaks to Susie Ferguson ahead of his appearance at the Auckland Writers Festival event, An Evening with Trent Dalton on the 15th of October, and his upcoming stage play Love Stories which starts on the 16th of October and is exclusive to Auckland.
