We are delighted to have Konrad Muller in conversation to discuss his debut novel, My Heart at Evening.

1832, Van Diemen’s Land. A troubled, unnamed emissary narrates his journey north from Hobart Town to Circular Head (present-day Stanley) where he has been sent to investigate the circumstances surrounding the suicide of Henry Hellyer—surveyor, amateur botanist, artist, and friend to the wife of the Chief Agent in the north.

My Heart at Evening is an irresistible observation of the forces that shaped Tasmania, and Australia more broadly, from power, to mateship, sexuality, and isolation—forces we still recognise today. This is also the start of a new publishing literary press Evercreech Editions, based in Hobart.

Free, but bookings are essential.
