Sydney Writers' Festival @ Parkes Library: Ghost Cities

Miles Franklin Award winner’s bold and satirical reimagining of Australian storytelling

Take a tour of the absurd with author Siang Lu, whose Miles Franklin Award–winning novel Ghost Cities leaps from China’s abandoned megacities to parallel histories in an endlessly inventive allegory for today.

An instant landmark in experimental Australian literature, Ghost Cities, much like its author’s nebulous internet presence, is at once a tongue-in-cheek satire and a bold exploration of failed expatriation and erasure.

Discover Siang’s rich literary worlds in this conversation with James McKenzie Watson.
