Susan Choi: Flashlight
Friday 22 May 2026 at 12:00PM
Cheltenham
Event Description
The new novel from Susan Choi, multi-award-winning writer including the National Book Award and a Lambda Literary Award, is a sweeping, international family drama that was shortlisted for the 2025 Booker Prize. Flashlight, described by The Guardian as a return to the great American novel of the 20th century, beguiled readers for its examination of absence and silence in a small family rocked by the assumed death of Louisa’s father.
Join Susan as she discusses relationships and alienation in her new novel, in conversation with Beejay Silcox.
Sydney Writers’ Festival is Australia’s largest celebration of books and ideas, bringing the world’s finest authors and esteemed thinkers together for insightful and exhilarating conversations and discussions.
This event is livestreamed direct from Sydney Writers Festival.
