  Now we're talking in Adelaide in a kind of ridiculous casino hotel.

• 00:51

  And I have just been so thrilled to be introduced to your book.

• 00:55

  the Paper Palace while we're here.

  Now, you're one of the speakers at Adelaide Festival.

  But you're from the United States.

• 01:02

• 01:04

• 01:11

  very personal.

• 01:12

  And you get the feeling that really you're writing through your life.

• 01:17

  And I think just to try and understand who you are and what your life is.

• 01:21

  So obviously, brought up in America.
