SUMMARY:Shankari Chandran at Sydney Writers Festival
DESCRIPTION:We live in an era of unprecedented access to information\, yet power and authority often present fiction as fact. \nAs a writer and lawyer\, Shankari Chandran recognises fiction’s limitations in delivering justice. But her interviews with survivors of Sri Lankan genocide inform her novels\, which provide a powerful opportunity to explore and reveal stories\, history\, war and injustice. Fiction is a crucial space for truth-telling\, especially when official channels are blocked. \nIn this PEN Sydney lecture\, hear the Miles Franklin Literary Award winner speak to her use of fiction as a living\, communal archive. \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Join us for this free event at the Sydney Writers Festival on Friday 23 May at 1pm. \n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Book Now
