Boffins Books, The Lane Bookshop, and Christ Church Grammar School are excited to host Trent Dalton in conversation with Claire Nichols, host of The Book Show on ABC Radio National, on his new novel, Gravity Let Me Go.
About the Book
There are one thousand stories up and down your street. There are nine thousand stories in your neighbourhood. This is the one about Noah Cork and the most important story he almost missed in pursuit of his dreams. Dark, gritty, hilarious and unexpected, Gravity Let Me Go is a novel about marriage and ambition; truth-telling and truth-omitting; self-deception and self-preservation. It’s a novel about the stories we want to tell the world and those we shouldn’t, and how the stories we keep locked away are so often the stories that come to define us.
It’s the story of a murder.
It’s the story of a marriage.
It’s the story of a lifetime.
‘This is the most personal book I’ve ever written. It’s a marriage story buried inside a murder mystery. It’s a story about a journalist, a husband, a father of two living in the northern suburbs of Brisbane, who becomes so obsessed with the true-crime scoop of his lifetime that he almost misses an even bigger scoop: the one about true love and the very meaning of his life.’
