Join us for a night of good wine and conversation with one of Australia's most renowned writers: Chris Hammer.

Chris was a journalist for more than thirty years, dividing his career between covering Australian federal politics and international affairs. For many years he was a roving foreign correspondent for SBS TV's flagship current affairs program Dateline. He has reported from more than 30 countries on six continents. In Canberra, roles included chief political correspondent for The Bulletin, current affairs correspondent for SBS TV and a senior political journalist for The Age. 

His first book, The River, published in 2010 to critical acclaim, was the recipient of the ACT Book of the Year Award and was shortlisted for the Walkley Book Award and the Manning Clark House National Cultural Award. 

Now Chris returns with Scrublands, an epic and heartstopping thriller that has taken over readers in Australia and beyond.

We are lucky to host Chris for an in-conversation at Berkelouw Books Paddington (19 Oxford Street, Paddington) on August 21 at 7pm.
