Join us to celebrate the launch of Murray Middleton's No Church in the Wild. Named Readings' April Fiction Book of the Month, No Church in the Wild takes place among the Flemington commission flats, following the lives of two disgruntled kids, a teacher and a cop as they embark on a police-led trip to walk the Kokoda Trail in the hope of healing the wrongs of the past. Unshaved novelist and 2022 Age Book of the Year winner Miles Allinson will do the launching honours. Free, but bookings are essential. Please book here.
Step back in time with writer and broadcaster Natalie Haynes (Pandora's Jar, Divine Might) in this special live edition of her wildly popular BBC Radio 4 show. This comical guide to Ancient Greece and Rome sees Haynes combine comedy and conversation to breathe new life into the classics. Across four seasons she's profiled key figures from ancient Greece and Rome, exhuming everyone from Petronius to Plato. Laugh along with Natalie as she creates a stand-up show around a classical icon.
FANTASTICAL WORLDS. Imagine another world with the fantasy writers who are redefining the wildly popular genre. Australian fantasy heavyweight Garth Nix (The Old Kingdom series) takes to the stage with ascending local star Shelley Parker-Chan (The Radiant Emperor duology) and global sensation Samantha Shannon (The Roots of Chaos series) to explain how they create expansive universes for their epic stories, heroes and heroines.
