We're delighted to be hosting this special launch event for Dusk, the highly anticipated new novel by Tasmania's own Robbie Arnott.
In the distant highlands, a puma named Dusk is killing shepherds. Down in the lowlands, twins Iris and Floyd are out of work, money and friends. When they hear that a bounty has been placed on Dusk, they reluctantly decide to join the hunt. As they journey up into this wild, haunted country, they discover there’s far more to the land and people of the highlands than they imagined. And as they close in on their prey, they’re forced to reckon with conflicts both ancient and deeply personal.
Robbie Arnott is the author of Limberlost, The Rain Heron and Flames. He’s a two-time winner of The Age Book of the Year, and has also been awarded the Voss Literary Prize. He’s been named a Sydney Morning Herald Best Young Novelist, and has twice been shortlisted for the Miles Franklin Literary Award, as well as the Dylan Thomas Prize.
Robbie will be in conversation with Rachel Edwards. Rachel is now an ABC radio producer with Statewide Mornings and publisher at Transportation Press; in another life though, she ran the weekend shifts at Fullers – and was Robbie’s manager.
Join them at the Hobart Town Hall for this special Hobart launch of Dusk.
