Award winning Canberra author Cat Sparks will speak with Isobelle about her latest book Comes the Night, set in a future of Canberra, and about her own novel Lotus Blue, set in the far future of Australia. They will talk about the intersection of art and activism and about how writing about the future is also writing to the present, and how it is done effectively. They will read from their books, as will a third surprise guest.
There will be a special performance by the Canberra Disobedience Dancers.
This special event is the first of a monthly series of literary events that will feature an in-conversation between two authors, and a surprise guest, in the new and fabulous upstairs salon. Drinks, food and books will be available for purchase.
This event will be free, but future salons will cost a small amount to be split among the three creators.
