Question 7. Head back to the 2024 Byron Writers Festival with Richard Flanagan in conversation with Jill Eddington.

Beginning at a love hotel by Japan’s Inland Sea and ending by a river in Tasmania, Question 7 is about the choices we make about love and the chain reaction that follows. Join Booker Prize-winning author Richard Flanagan to discuss this love song to his island home and to his parents, in a melding of dream, history, place and memory.

Question 7

Byron Writers Festival is Australia's favourite regional meeting place of storytelling and ideas. We present world-class gatherings that enrich and transform the lives of our audiences and community. Our annual festival takes place in August on Bundjalung Country.

We showcase writers from around the world, representing all aspects of contemporary literature, especially First Nations writing and ways of knowing, environment, politics, philosophy, art, history and society.

Established in 1995, the festival and our year-round programs attract tens of thousands of audiences annually to develop and promote literature from and in the region.
