Geelong Library and Heritage Centre (The Dome) - Wurdi Youang

From the winner of the 2020 Victorian Premier's Award for an Unpublished Manuscript comes a genre bending tour-de-force debut.

Nothing is as it was, and while resentments flare, it seems that the city too is agitated. People wake up to streets that have rearranged themselves, in houses that have moved to different parts of town. Tensions rise and the authorities have no answers. The internet becomes alight with conspiracy theories.

This is a spectacular debut novel from one of Australia's most exciting new writers. Winner of the Victorian Premier's Unpublished Manuscript Award, Hovering crosses genres, literary styles and conventions to create a powerful and kaleidoscopic story about three people struggling to find connection in a chaotic and impermanent world.

Rhett Davis will appear in-conversation with prize-winning writer, Maria Takolander.  Book sales will be available on the night thanks to The Book Bird, Geelong West.

With thanks to our event partner sponsors, Hachette.
