A satirical picture-book for grown-ups! Join Wanda and Elizabeth for the launch of The Advising Professions - the book will be officially launched by Ray Broomhall.Tasmanian Gothic gets a light-hearted twist in this quirky book of satirical stories in rambunctious rhyme, lavishly illustrated by Tasmanian artist Elizabeth Barsham. The self-importance of those who would advise others for cash – from the arrogant Battery Point lawyer, to the psychiatrist who sleeps through his sessions, to the financial adviser living the high life on other people’s money – is gently skewered in eight tales in which pandemonium is never far away, and luck is firmly on the side of the underdog.
Wanda Buza is a Tasmanian author, retired public servant and academic, and Elizabeth Barsham is an acclaimed Tasmanian artist. Her paintings are playful and charming, but beneath the fantasy and Gothic imagination is a sharp and ironic sense of reality.
Tickets are $10 and include a glass of wine (or a cold drink).
