Writers Live - Debra Adelaide introduces The Simple Act of Reading
18th Jun '15 @


Default_adelaide__debra

You are invited to meet Debra Adelaide when she introduces The Simple Act of Reading along with special guest contributors Delia Falconer and Gail Jones.

Find a quiet place, open the page, follow the line of words. The act of reading might be simple but is also one of the most profound human experiences.

The Simple Act of Reading is a collection from some of Australia's most revered writers - such as David Malouf, Delia Falconer, Malcolm Knox and Kate Forsyth. Their beautiful and nostalgic essays reflect the turning points in their lives as readers. The essays reach out to booklovers and explore childhood reading experiences, the books that left an enduring mark and the writers who discovered their love of reading later in life.

Combining new and existing essays from some of the writers Debra most admires, proceeds from The Simple Act of Reading will go to the Sydney Story Factory, which encourages writing by young people in numerous imaginative and creative ways.

Join Debra Adelaide when she introduces this new anthology, along with special guest contributors, at 6.30pm on Thursday June 18th at Berkelouw Books in Leichhardt.

Bookings are essential and can be made online by following this link (fees apply), by phone on 9560 3200 or by email to leichhardt@berkelouw.com.au.

Cost is $ 10.00, $ 5.00 of which will be credited against any purchases on the evening.
