Grab your notebook and perhaps a nice cuppa because on November 2, 2024, you'll have the chance to catch the literary whirlwind that is Alexis Wright, straight from the northern wilds of Australia. This isn't just any chat; it's a Zoom rendezvous with the brilliant mind behind "Praiseworthy," the book everyone keeps raving about. Fun fact: it's the first book ever to snag both the Stella Prize and the Miles Franklin Award, and Alexis is the lucky one who has now taken home the Stella Prize not once but twice. By the way, if you thought "Praiseworthy" was just about a feel-good title, think again—it's an epic journey packed with lush language and sweeping imagery that'll make your imagination do somersaults.

Joining her in this virtual tête-à-tête is Ivor Indyk, the big cheese over at Giramondo Publishing Company, so expect plenty of enlightening banter. Mark your calendars for 3:30 pm in the ballroom of The Carrington Hotel, and don't forget to check your internet connection—or you might just miss the best literary gossip of the year. Tickets are $21.43 for the curious and a cheeky $18.83 for the concessional folk. Just make sure you're not late, or you might miss Alexis dropping some serious knowledge and wit while we all sip our tea (or whatever floats your boat).
