In Residence at Bundanon

I’ve long been interested in the form of the novel–how and why it has worked throughout the 20th century–and how its form could be disrupted to reflect the likelihood that our 21st century world, thanks to technology and climate change, is at the start of a new era. What parts of the old form do we keep? What’s not working? What possibly could replace the parts we subtract? I’ll be grappling with these questions as I work on a manuscript that embraces metamodernism.
