SAVE THE DATE | AUTHOR TALK

Two authors. Two remarkable books. One fascinating conversation!

Join us for a special double author talk exploring imagination, identity and Australian storytelling.

Discover Griefdogg by Michael Winkler – a bold, thought-provoking novel about grief, belonging and what it means to be human. An entrancing and eccentric tale set against the river-worn backdrop of Mildura.

Explore Henry Goes Bush by Wayne Marshall – an inventive reimagining of Australian literary history filled with humour, adventure and unexpected possibilities. A bold reimagining of the legendary literary rivalry between Henry Lawson and Banjo Paterson.

Together, these two books offer a unique opportunity to hear how contemporary Australian writers challenge, reshape and celebrate the stories we tell.

Friday, 10.30am 21 August – Wangaratta Library

Don’t miss this engaging conversation with two distinctive voices in Australian literature.
