Feeding the Hand That Bites

Wednesday 17 March, 6.30pm
Readings Carlton

Join us for a discussion on Gideon Haigh’s provocative lead essay on Australian reviewing culture in the new journal Kill Your Darlings, convened by editor Rebecca Starford, who regularly reviews for The Age and The Australian. Gideon will discuss the timidity and clubbishness of Australian reviewing culture, as he sees it reflected in the literary scene.

Giving their points of view from the adjacent worlds of film and music will be The Big Issue’s books editor Jo Case and DVD editor Anthony Morris. Anthony is a film reviewer for Empire and writes on The Wire for Kill Your Darlings Issue One.

Free, bookings appreciated. Email [email protected] to book.

Location
Readings Carlton Wurundjeri Country, 309 Lygon St, Carlton
