Christos Tsiolkas on pieces of fiction that stay with us forever
Update: 2023-08-11
Description
Today on the show, author Christos Tsiolkas with a recent piece from The Monthly.
“The Past is a foreign country: they do things differently there” – is the memorable opening line of L.P. Hartley’s 1953 novel, The Go-Between.
It’s a line that has stuck with Christos Tsiolkas since he read it in high school - and a sentiment that has made him reflect on his life, his migrant parents’ lives, and the value of creating foreign worlds through fiction.
Christos Tsiolkas will read his story, ‘The Past is a Foreign Country’, after a short conversation with 7am host Ange McCormack.
