Stan Grant at Port Phillip Estate

Over an intimate two-course dinner at Port Phillip Estate, acclaimed author and broadcaster Stan Grant lifts the curtain on his new book, When Words Fail Us.

Drawing wisdom from an array of thinkers and artists, including Plato, Simone Weil, Cormac McCarthy, Thomas Aquinas and even Radiohead, Stan Grant’s expansive and philosophical new book When Words Fail Us invites readers to reconsider the meaning and necessity of silence in an age of noise and relentless distraction.

In the first of our new series presented in partnership with Port Phillip Estate, guests will enjoy a special two-course dinner curated by the estate’s hatted restaurant set against sweeping views of Western Port Bay. Following the meal, Grant will explore how words can fail to meet the moment in the context of Australia’s history, identity and political division. With host Jason Steger.
