Trent Dalton discovered he was on the fringe of one of Australia's biggest crime stories. Back in the 1980s, when Trent was a kid growing up in Brisbane, he discovered that there was a secret underground room behind his stepfather's wardrobe. There were plenty of other strange things happening to him too. Like when he found a bundle of cash in the pocket of his bathrobe. Or there were the rumours that his babysitter was a murderer. It took Trent many years before he untangled these mysteries and found out the reality of his childhood. He used his life story as inspiration for his debut novel Boy Swallows Universe, which became the fastest selling in Australian history.Presenter: Saskia Collette Producers: Saskia Collette and Andrea KennedyGet in touch: liveslessordinary@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp: 0044 330 678 2784

The famed author behind Boy Swallows Universe is back with another uplifting novel inspired by dark topics. Lola in the Mirror is less autobiographical than Universe, but it explores the themes of tragedy and suffering with larger-than-life characters. Trent Dalton says he was inspired to write these books to reflect his own lived experience. "For a lot of people who've been in the cracks, they can't entertain the dark. They can't safely entertain the darkness, you've got to remember that." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Before he found runaway success with his debut novel, Boy Swallows Universe, and follow-up All Our Shimmering Skies, Trent Dalton spent decades as a journalist investigating the real-life social inequities that underpin his third novel, Lola in the Mirror: poverty, violence, homelessness – and the power of hope. The result is a moving, darkly funny story about life and death that is by turns heart-breaking and eye-opening. In conversation with musician and writer Clare Bowditch at Melbourne Town Hall, Dalton discusses Lola in the Mirror and the passion for social justice that inspired him to write it. This event was recorded on Thursday 12 October 2023 at Melbourne Town Hall as part of the Wheeler Centre's Spring Fling series.Spring Fling was proudly supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria and the Melbourne City Revitalisation Fund.Special thanks to event partner and official bookseller Readings and accommodation partner The Sofitel.

The very special guest on Day 2 of the Gabba Test against the West Indies is the Walkley award winning journalist turned best selling author Trent Dalton. His story of a colourful upbringing in 1980s Brisbane - Boy Swallows Universe - is now a global hit on Netflix. He spoke the Quentin Hull about growing up loving cricket, the West Indian team of the 1980s and how he still has to pinch himself about what is happening in his life.

Hi everyone. Thank for clicking or downloading on todays episode of TV Reload with Troy Lum. We will be talking about Boy Swallows Universe which is out now on Netflix. This Australian drama series for Netflix has an all-star Australian cast, stunning cinematography, an '80s period setting that feels modern, and a fast-paced story that's deadly serious but full of love, hope and humour.  An epic coming-of-age story set in 1980s Brisbane that blends the magic and innocence of youth with the brutal reality of the adult world. A lost father, a mute brother, a recovering addict mum, a heroin dealer for a stepfather, and a notorious criminal for a babysitter.  Adapted from Trent Dalton's iconic Australian novel, Boy Swallows Universe explores the crossroads where a boy becomes a man, good toys with evil, and the everyday meets the extraordinary. Today's guest Troy Lum's film career started in distribution and exhibition at Dendy Films in the late 1990s and while there he acquired and released some of the biggest independent movies in history including The Blair Witch Project and Amelie. At the age of 27, he launched Hopscotch Films alongside Sandy Don and Frank Cox. The independent distribution company's many successful titles included Pan's Labyrinth, Fahrenheit 911, The Sapphires, Spotlight and La La Land.  Lum shares the role of  series and executive producer title with colleague Andrew Mason and with the massive success around the world I think we will continue to see plenty more collaborations with the two. There is a lot to unpack with Troy, what drew him to this project, how they capture the tremendous performances from their young actors,  What techniques they used to balance out the bleak at times overtones with music and cinematography.  I will ask about the possibility to continue their relationship with author Trent and what their relationship was like and if there was a lot of pressure having the author on set.  Anyway, let's bring Troy into the podcast, so sit back and relax as we dive just that little bit deeper into the world of Australian television. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Boy Swallows Universe by Trent Dalton (2018) VS On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong (2019)

Hellooooo, book clubbers! This month, we read the non-fiction book from bestselling Aussie author Trent Dalton called Love Stories. For about two months, Trent sat on a busy Brisbane street corner, asking more than 150 strangers for their best love stories. What sparked this idea? After the passing of his best mate's mother and, well, a global pandemic, Trent felt like we all needed to hear some love stories. Today on the show, we chat about our favourite stories and main takeaways from the book, and then! Annabelle interviews Trent Dalton himself at the very end of this episode. Join us in the all the book chat over on our Insta, @theshamelessbookclub, and our TikTok, @theshamelessbookclub.

Where would you begin to tell the story of how great a love can be? How about a table and a typewriter in Brisbane? That's what Trent did, and it seemed to work out for him. He's got a whole book of real life love stories straight from the people who lived them. Not that any of them hold a candle to Tom and Kathryn's story, of course. There is no greater display of love than re-cleaning a "clean" bathroom.Book: Love Stories Learn more about your ad choices.
