Join two exciting voices in Australian literature for an evening talk on their latest books.
MICHAEL WINKLER is the author of Griefdogg. Set beside the Murray River in Mildura, it tells the story of a middle-aged water scientist who decides to give up his striving lifestyle and live instead as a family pet. This is Michael’s second novel after Grimmish, which was shortlisted for the Miles Franklin Award.
WAYNE MARSHALL is the author of Henry Goes Bush. It is a collision of speculative fiction with the famous visit of Henry Lawson to Bourke in 1892-93. Wayne’s short story collection Shirl was shortlisted for a Victorian Premier's Literary Award. He is the co-founder of the Peter Carey Short Story Award, and his work has appeared in many journals including Overland, Island and Going Down Swinging.
Copies of the books will be available for purchase on the night.
