Self In The Story
from Write Around the Murray · host Write Around the Murray
Self In The Story was part of the Write Around the Murray program for 2018. To what degree is the author present in their fiction or the biographer present in stories of others? Is the self as revealed in memoir any truer than the self that emerges in other genres? Jessie Cole and Robert Hillman get introspective with Caroline Baum about the ways they appear in their writing. Recorded 08/09/2018 Write Around the Murray is an annual literary-based festival held in Albury. It brings together some of Australia’s best authors and storytellers in a welcoming and relaxed environment. The diverse program includes author talks and workshops, art exhibitions, a poetry slam, writing competitions, WAM4Kids family events, and always an element of surprise. Many events are free or low cost and provide a unique opportunity for rural communities from NE Victoria, the Southern Riverina and beyond to not only listen to their favourite authors, storytellers and illustrators, but also to meet, greet and talk to them. Regular presenter Jason Steger describes the festival as “small and perfectly formed”. Past guests include Isobelle Carmody, Tim Flannery, Graeme Base, Benjamin Law, Graeme Simsion, Alison Lester and Jackie French.
