Be part of Live & Local. Come to Geelong Library & Heritage Centre to watch these author events, live-streamed by Sydney Writers' Festival and screened only at the Library.
Please note: Due to unforeseen circumstances, Helen Garner will no longer be attending the Sydney Writer's Festival on Saturday May 1 at 2pm. Sarah Krasnostein will now be in conversation with Maria Tumarkin.
After the runaway success of Sarah Krasnostein’s debut The Trauma Cleaner: One Woman’s Extraordinary Life in Death, Decay & Disaster, Sarah spent time in Australia and the US talking to six extraordinary people who held fast to a belief even though it rubbed against the grain of conventional wisdom. Her research culminated in The Believer: Encounters with Love, Death & Faith, a deeply humane and deftly drawn enquiry into the power of belief. Sarah is joined by fellow observer of human nature, Helen Garner, to explore what we believe in and why – from ghosts and UFOs to God and the devil, dying with autonomy and beyond.
This event is Auslan interpreted.
Thanks to Rosie Block.
