Word for Word Non-Fiction Festival: Anthony Albanese and Karen Middleton in Geelong
The newly released biography from Karen Middleton, Albanese: Telling it Straight, is a window on the recent turbulent years of Australian federal politics with a deeply personal dimension. This is the whole story of Anthony Albanese and the remarkable mother, Maryanne, who raised him.
In partnership with the Word for Word Non-Fiction Festival, we’re presenting this conversation between Middleton and Albanese himself at the magnificent new Geelong Library & Heritage Centre.
The pair will discuss the trajectory of Albanese’s political career and Middleton will reflect on the complexities of writing a biography when the subject is still active in public life. Join them at this fabulous location in the heart of Geelong.
Presented in partnership with the Geelong Regional Libraries.
