Readers are spoilt for choice: bookshops are overflowing with the great, the good (and the rest), and it could not be harder to choose what to read next. And let’s face it, a first-time local writer isn’t guaranteed of a guest spot on Rove, or the high-profile national tour.
Every fortnight, let Debut Mondays be your guide. Come and have a glass of wine and discover the best new writers around.
Featuring: Tom Cho’s funny and original Look Who’s Morphing, Andrew Croome’s The Australian/Vogel Prize winning Document Z, memorist Lisa Dempster’s Neon Pilgram, and prize-winning poet LK Holt’s Man Wolf Man.
