About Writing men in Australia
AUTHOR TALK
Author talk with Michael Mohammed Ahmad and Sam Carmody.
Michael Mohammed Ahmad is at the forefront of the vibrant literary scene that grew in the multicultural melting pot of Sydney’s western suburbs.
He founded Sweatshop, a literary movement devoted to empowering culturally and linguistically diverse communities throughout Australia through reading, writing and critical thinking. His new novel The Lebs has been hailed as “confronting and compelling”.
He’ll talk with Darwin author Sam Carmody, whose debut novel The Windy Season won the Readings Prize for New Australia Fiction in 2017, about the issues they’ve faced in writing about young men growing up in Australia, “toxic masculinity”, violence and racism.
Food is available for purchase at the venue from 12 noon.
