Well it was an action-packed show today (as much as it gets for us, anyway!).
John Bartlett review: "The World Beneath" by Cate Kennedy.
JB mentioned that Paul Kelly will be appearing, along with other writers at A Gala night of Storytelling at the Melbourne Town Hall, Saturday 13 February 2010 at 06:00PM. This is one of the first in a programme of events for the Wheeler Centre for Books, ideas and writing.
He also gave a glowing review of Bruce Pascoe's novel "Bloke". "It's just a fantastic story, really... it's a funny, funny book... he does dialogue brilliantly."
