Readings Hawthorn, Woiwurrung Country, 687 Glenferrie Rd, Hawthorn, Victoria, 3122
In Gideon Haigh’s new book, Stroke of Genius, Haigh goes beyond the cricketing legend to explore the real Victor Trumper.
Haigh and broadcaster Francis Leach will discuss how Trumper became an icon, including the role of George Beldam’s famous ‘Jumping Out’ photograph, in creating the intersection of sport and art, and reality and myth, that is the Victor Trumper story we know today.
