Writers & Readers Week got off to a
great start last night with over a thousand people in the audience at
the Town Hall for Opening Address speaker, environmentalist Tim Flannery.
A post-show function hosted by Mayor Celia Wade Brown in the Council
Chambers provided the perfect setting for the visiting writers
to meet and mingle, ahead of a packed weekend of literary
excitement featuring Germaine Greer, Denise
Mina, Alan Hollinghurst and Norwegian crime
writer Jo
Nesbo. With sessions at just $18 (excl bkg fees) or $10 for
students, Writers
& Readers Week runs until Wednesday 14 March. View the full
programme.

Very interesting five page story by Charlotte Grimshaw in March issue of METRO headed Me & Germaine Greer. Worth a read. |
