Join us to hear Murray Middleton in conversation about his new short story collection, U Want it Darker

Thursday 7 August, 6.30pm
Readings State Library

Join us to hear Murray Middleton discuss his bold and darkly humorous short story collection, U Want it Darker.

The stories in U Want it Darker are about artists struggling with their egos, facing their failures and redeeming their bad behaviour. With each exhilarating tale, Murray Middleton draws us deeper into the absurdities of creative life, inhabiting dingy painters' studios, anarchic movie sets, depraved pizza restaurants and grimy comedy clubs, as he tries not to plunge into the abyss himself.

Free, but bookings are essential.

Please book here.
