Chair: Beejay Silcox Critic Beejay Silcox has suggested that Jane Harper’s “outback noir mega-hit The Dry kick-started a crime-writing boom… the drought blighted bush town became a genre trope: Australia’s sunburned answer to the arid cold of Scandi noir". Her subsequent novels have received international acclaim and have cemented Harper’s place in the crime genre. She joins Silcox to talk about the intersection of character, plot and landscape and what becoming an international bestseller has meant to her writing. Event details: Thu 09 Mar, 1:15pm on the East Stage
