Geraldine Brooks Tickets

Presented by: Brisbane Writers Festival

For decades readers have been enthralled by Geraldine Brooks’ remarkable ability to render the past in vivid colour.

With the devastatingly intimate Memorial Days, Brooks turns her powers of perception to her own story, chronicling the aftermath of her husband Tony Horwitz’ sudden death. Blending emotional intimacy with clear-sighted consideration of the rituals attending loss, Memorial Days is an ode both to a singular man, and the universal experience of love and grief.

Joining Geraldine in conversation is the inimitable Susan Johnson.
