Anna Funder, the Samuel Johnson Prize winner, Miles Franklin Award laureate, and author of Wifedom, Stasiland, and All That I Am, takes the stage across Australia and New Zealand this July and August for an evening of conversation.

In this live event, Funder goes beyond the published page to share the research, contested arguments, and primary sources that shaped three decades of landmark writing. She will take audiences inside the process of recovering lives that history ‘preferred to forget’, revealing how the gap between official records and reality is never accidental, and why it always serves someone.
