Voting begins at the end of August, but we're getting things started by asking writers to select their own top three books. voice-verified

So here's novelist George Kemp, and he'll introduce himself to you. voice-verified

And a really interesting portrait of regional Australia. voice-verified

I really like the way that you did that as well. voice-verified

But let's turn to that impossible question of your favourite Australian books. voice-verified

Long term, we're asking you to select 10, but today I want you to focus on just three. voice-verified

What is the book that you would want to begin with? voice-verified

And I want to hear more about what it is that you got out of that book. voice-verified

But before we do that, George, tell us how you came to read this book. voice-verified

And when you say this is a book that taught you how to read, tell us more about what you mean by that. voice-verified

This is a novel set in and about Western Australia, but how much were you reading it with that image of a young man jumping into Sydney Harbour? voice-verified

I mean, how much did that theatrical perspective inform your reading? voice-verified

And so there's the stage and all the theatricality on the one hand, but also this is a novel, as you said, that is centred upon a house. voice-verified

So what does that sort of architectural space of this novel, what does that add to it? voice-verified

What does that mean? voice-verified

What is the next book that you would like to present for us? voice-verified

So with that description, that almost sounds like a familiar story. voice-verified

You've got a lost child, a potentially hostile Australian landscape and Australian history, and yet she does something surprising with it. voice-verified

So what is it that makes this not a cliche of Australian history and Australian landscape? voice-verified

What about the emotional reading of this book? voice-verified
