Join us for a special evening event featuring one of Australia’s most exciting literary talents, author Sean O’Beirne in conversation with author and screenwriter Christos Tsiolkas. Together they’ll celebrate and discuss the launch of Sean’s new book On Helen Garner.
On Helen Garner is the latest installment of the Writers on Writers series, in which leading writers reflect on another Australian writer who has inspired and influenced them. Provocative and crisp, these books start a fresh conversation between past and present, shed new light on the craft of writing, and introduce some intriguing and talented authors and their work.
Sean looks at Helen Garner’s writing life so far - from Monkey grip to the recently published Diaries - while trying to come to terms with the demands, and rewards, of Garner’s great, radical individualism and honesty.
