This program looks at theme from the authors' perspective as Australian authors Amra Pajalic, Angela Savage, Gabrielle Wang and Tony Wilson share how they work with theme during the writing process. When and how do they determine and develop theme? How does it shape their stories? We also take a closer look at the theme of Australian identity.
