Charlotte Wood and Christos Tsiolkas are two of our most acclaimed and best loved authors, rigorous, generous, and excavators of humanity’s hidden depths. In this special conversation, Charlotte and Christos draw on their most recent books – Charlotte’s study of creativity The Luminous Solution and Christos’s autofiction 7 ½ – to discuss how they function as artists, the challenges of a creative life and how they lived through the surreal ride of the pandemic.
