Kate Grenville in conversation
Cinema Nova, 380 Lygon St, Carlton VIC 3053
Join us to hear Kate Grenville in conversation as she discusses her new book Unsettled: A Journey Through Time and Place.
‘What does it mean to be on land that was taken from other people? Now that we know how the taking was done, what do we do with that knowledge?’
Kate Grenville is no stranger to the past. Her success and fame as a writer exploded when she published The Secret River in 2005, a bestseller based on the story of her convict ancestor, an early settler on the Hawkesbury River. More than two decades on, and following the defeat of the Voice referendum, Grenville is still grappling with what it means to descend from people who were, as she puts it, “on the sharp edge of the moving blade that was colonisation”.
Tickets are $40 per person, includes a signed copy of Unsettled.
