Writers Live - Peter Docker introduces Sweet One
11th Sep '14 @ Berkelouw Mona Vale


Default_peter_docker

Fresh from the frontier where Indigenous and settler Australian cultures meet, Western Australian actor and performer Peter Docker presents an evening of storytelling and song. He’ll discuss his controversial but compulsive new novel Sweet One and perform music from the soundtrack he wrote for the book.

This is an evening for people who love good stories. It is an evening for people with a hunger to understand what is happening in remote and regional Australia where the past, present and future of traditional and settler culture intersects.

When a senior Aboriginal war veteran dies horribly at the hands of state goverment authorities, Izzy, a journalist and daughter of a war veteran herself, flies to the goldfields to cover his death. On the trail of the vigilantes she find herself embedded in a secret war that is finally, irrevocably, going to explode to the surface.

Join us at 6.30pm on Thursday, September 11th at Berkelouw Books in Mona Vale for an evening that will challenge, enlighten and entertain.

Bookings are essential and can be made online by using the Eventbrite link shown below, by phone on 9979 2112 or by email to monavale@berkelouw.com.au.

Cost is $ 9.00, $ 5.00 of which will be credited against any purchases made on the evening.
