National Writers' Conference - How to Tell a Story

Are contemporary novelists losing the ability to tell a truly great story? With recent literary discourse on the dying art of craft and technique, is the ambition of the novel taking a turn? Authors such as Brandon Taylor posit that the crucial tenets of quality prose are being forgotten or abandoned, with less people reading, and mistakenly turning to the screen to learn the pillars of literary craft. Hear from novelists known for their riveting storytelling, as they consider this idea, and contemplate the devices and learnings that make for a great novel.

Please note this panel will feature real-time translation, conducted by Mandarin language interpreters.
