Lunch with Alexis Wright at Montalto

Since publishing Plains of Promise in 1997, Alexis Wright has risen to be one of Australia’s most celebrated writers. The multi-award-winning author of the novels Carpentaria and The Swan Book, Wright has also published three works of non-fiction: Take Power, an oral history of the Central Land Council; Grog War, a study of alcohol abuse in the Northern Territory; and Tracker, an award-winning collective memoir of Aboriginal leader Tracker Tilmouth.

This April, join the Wheeler Centre and Sorrento Writers Festival for a shared lunch at Red Hill’s Montalto as Alexis Wright speaks with host Daniel James about Praiseworthy, activism in writing, and her distinguished literary career.

Presented in partnership with Montalto and Sorrento Writers Festival

The bookseller for this event is Antipodes Bookshop and Gallery.

Set at Montalto’s stunning Red Hill winery on the Mornington Peninsula, join some of Australia’s most beloved writers for an intimate discussion about their work – served with excellent food and wine, as a languorous lunchtime tips into a relaxed afternoon.
