Markus Zusak is one of Australia’s most successful exports, a six-time novelist best known for The Book Thief, an international smash hit also adapted for the screen. Ten years on, his highly anticipated follow-up arrives – the ambitious, suburban epic, Bridge of Clay, described by The Guardian as ”brilliantly illuminated… affirmatively full of life”. The book celebrates both the ordinary and the outrageous, and the journeys that make us. Zusak talks writing, discipline and inspiration with Catriona Ferguson.
