Thursday 28 November from 6:30pm to 7:30pm
Helen Garner returns with her signature sharp eye and wit in an exuberant new book, The Season, following her youngest grandson’s season of under-16s footy and the team’s passage from boyhood to manhood.
Each week Helen sits on the sidelines of training sessions and matches watching as her grandson and his teammates tackle triumphs and defeats as they fight their way towards the finals.
One of Australia’s finest writers meets one of Australia’s greatest pastimes in this moving account of family connections.
Be one of the first to hear Helen talk about her The Season in conversation with The Monthly’s Michael Williams.
‘A voice of great honesty and energy.’ –Anne Enright
