Literary Salon: A World Without Writers

Overview

Five writers. One evening. A single topic. Plenty of weighty matters to ponder. That's Brisbane Writers Festival's Literary Salon, which focuses on A World Without Writers. If you're going to ponder a realm without those ostensibly wedded to the written word — and without the materials they create — then why not ask for their thoughts?

On September 8, The Family Law's Benjamin Law, Flesh Wounds' Richard Glover, Panchinko's Min Jin Lee and more will sit, talk and work through the subject — all while wedding an old tradition with new ideas. Dating back to the 16th century, salons are all about enlightening discussion. Expect a whole heap here.
