The darkness of mental disorder is now almost a staple for fiction and non-fiction writers alike. But are today’s writers breaking down stigma, or intensifying it? Are they obliged to portray mental illness accurately, or is literary licence paramount? And why do so many writers seem to doubt that ‘mental illnesses’ even exist?

On the penultimate night of Mental Health Week 2010, poet and memoirist Sandy Jeffs, journalist turned author Joel Magarey, novelist and former MP Neil Cole and psychiatrist Kathleen Bokey will discuss these questions and the issues that have affected their writing, lives and loves.

Free, but please book on 9347 6633.
