January 2007

The Booker Prize Winner - The Inheritance of Loss by Kirin Desai.

Have a think about your best book of 2006 for next meeting at Stella's place - last meeting of the year.

We all admired Markus Zusak's virtuoso writing in The Book Thief ( even Sue, who thought the Death conceit was a bit overdone in places!) We all admired Markus Zusak himself, interviewed by Caroline Baum on the ABC and videod by Stella. Some are vowing to follow up his Young Adult Fiction titles.

Emergency Sex - now on the stage at STC.


Only $10 to see a play based on the book we read last year, Emergency Sex and other desperate measures.
Next weekend.

Wharf 2LOUD
Imagine winning a prestigious award then hearing from the custodians of the prize that they refuse to be associated with your work on the basis of its 'pornographic' subject matter.

Imagine your boss sending you into war-torn battlefields, only to threaten you with disciplinary action when you attempt to recount the truth of your time there.

These were the experiences of the writers behind the next Wharf 2LOUD Push.

More Sugar Art

Ned Kelly's Courtroom scene snapped at Beechworth in the heart of Kelly Country recently.

Not as good as Moy's work. And it needed the whole Wodonga branch of the Cake Decorators to do it.

PS. I'm liking The Book Thief a lot.
