Literary Salon: Michael Winkler, Wayne Marshall, Rhett Davis

Hear from three authors pushing boundaries in contemporary Australian fiction: Michael Winkler, Wayne Marshall, and Rhett Davis. The evening will include readings and conversation, light refreshments, book sales and signings. Attendees will also enjoy 10% off any other titles they wish to purchase on the night.

Michael Winkler, Griefdogg (Text Publishing): When Jeffrey Watson-Johnson inherits a small fortune from an obscure aunt, he decides to change everything... and live as the family pet. The second novel from the Miles Franklin-shortlisted author of Grimmish, Griefdogg is a funny, sad, entrancing story about identiy, love, family and forgiveness.

Wayne Marshall, Henry Goes Bush (Picador): In 1892, New South Wales' most promising writer and least promising teetotaller, Henry Lawson, is banished to Bourke to 'find the real bush'. The goal: sober up, gather fresh material, and stop being such a disappointment. But what Australia's favourite literary son discovers in the river town is less a glorious national frontier than a collective nervous breakdown.

Rhett Davis, Arborescence (Hachette): An imaginative and deeply-felt answer to the question: how much would you sacrifice to save the world? From the award-winning writer of Hovering, Arborescence is a compelling novel about connection and disconnection, ambition and apathy, loss and hope, and how we don't always know what we have until the damage is done.
