Marion Campbell will launch The Bath Fugues, a meditation on melancholy and art. In the form of three interwoven novellas, centred respectively on an aging art forger; a Portuguese poet, opium addict and art collector; and a doctor, who has built an art gallery in tropical Queensland, these characters are tied by more than their art. Each character deals with questions of deception and discovery, counterfeiting and rewriting, transmission and identity and each stretching the bonds of trust and friendship. Brian has written many novels and was been long listed for the Miles Franklin.
Free, no need to book.
