ⓘ About Trent Dalton
Author Trent Dalton writes for The Weekend Australian Magazine and was once assistant editor of The Courier-Mail. Trent was drawn to journalism because of an interview he read done by Cameron Crowe, who was interviewing Pearl Jam, a band that Trent really liked at the time. The piece led a thirteen year old dreamer who was sort of lost kid all the way to Seattle. Through Crowe’s words, he was stomping through the footsteps of his musical Gods. He grew up in Housing Commission Bracken Ridge, Brisbane. Much of what he put into his novel “Boy Swallows Universe” are things he went through himself as a kid. He says that the book is about fifty-fifty fantasy and fact. At certain points in his life, he would live with his father.
