Join Trevor Shearston at Gleebooks In Conversation with Tegan Bennett Daylight, as they discuss his new novel Hare’s Fur.

Set in the Blue Moutains, Hare’s Fur tells the story of a potter living a mostly solitary life until one day he hikes into the valley below his house to collect rock for glazes from a remote creek bed and he finds a chocolate wrapper on the path. His curiosity leads him to a cave where three siblings — two young children and a teenage girl — are camped out, hiding from social services and the police. Hare’s Fur tells an exquisite story of grief, kindness, art, and the transformation that can grow from the seeds of trust.

Trevor Shearston is the author of Something in the Blood, Sticks That Kill, White Lies, Concertinas, A Straight Young Back, Tinder, and Dead Birds. His novel Game, about the bushranger Ben Hall, was short-listed for the NSW Premier’s Literary Awards, Christina Stead Prize for Fiction 2014, long-listed for the Miles Franklin Literary Award 2014, and short-listed for the Colin Roderick Award 2013. He lives in Katoomba, in the Blue Mountains.
