In this week’s podcast we come to you live from the 2015 Melbourne Writers Festival. Having taken in the best of the festival, we look at Neil Armfield’s film adaptation of Holding the Man, Timothy Conigrave’s seminal Australian memoir of life and love at the centre of the AIDS crisis. Then we browse the Huffington Post as it launches down under. And finally, we’re joined by novelist Antonia Hayes to talk about empathy and advocacy in fiction, following the release of her debut novel Relativity.

The Rereaders Live on Holding The Man, Huffington Post and Antonia Hayes

Eka Kurniawan has written about Indonesia's political and cultural history in the epic, disguised as a family saga, 'Beauty is a Wound'. It is written very cleverly and is most readable even the ghosts are believable. Antonia Hayes combines physics and emotion in her novel, 'Relativity'.
