The Book of Days is an illustrated anthology from the 2015 Sydney Writers’ Festival. The book was designed live during the festival at a workstation next to the Pier 2/3 Main Stage at Walsh Bay. The anthology is divided into two parts. The first is a selection of writing and illustrations from festival presenters. It includes excerpts of what was read or shown at festival events, previously published poems or essays, and a few tastes of as-yet unpublished work. The second part is a selection of writing and images from festival audiences in response to the 2015 theme, How to Live? These contributions were submitted via Twitter (using #swfbod) or on typewriters and index cards at the writing station. As a whole, the book is a memento of the festival experience, a record of what was presented and also how it was received. Writers and readers, together. With writing from: Robert Adamson, Dennis Altman, James Boyce, Robert Dessaix, Mohsin Hamid, Rebecca Huntley, Lee Kofman, Helen Macdonald, Emily St. John Mandel, Les Murray, Omar Musa, John Pickrell, Zoe Sadokierski and Tom Uglow. Featuring illustrations by: Lucy Adelaide, W.H. Chong, Tessa Curran, Tony Flowers, Juno Gemes, Leigh Hobbs, Olivia King, Leigh Rigozzi, Zoe Sadokierski, Gemma Warriner, Yan Qin Weng, William Yang.
