Main Hall, Memorial Hall

How do we process the beautiful, chaotic reality of being alive? Booker-shortlisted author Steve Toltz (Here Goes Nothing) and Zoe Terakes (Eros) cross the aisle between literary fiction and raw memoir to explore desire, identity, and the absurd. Join them as they discuss the mechanics of writing with unapologetic honesty, the strategic use of humor, and how to conjure characters you’ll never forget. Moderated by Amy Lovat.
