MEET THE AUTHOR - ROBERT SKINNER. A SENIORS IN MELBOURNE EVE
About
Fresh off the success of our inaugural Seniors in Melbourne gathering in July, we are inviting everyone back for the first of our specially curated-for-this-audience Meet the Author get together.Jaye has invited the beloved Melbourne author, Robert Skinner to kick start the series.
Robert is the inaugural John Clarke Prize for humour writing (2025) winner for his book 'I'd Rather Not'. The man about town (and the Northern Territory) is a thoughtful raconteur who is “mercifully free of existential angst, amiable and charming and able to make you both commiserate with and laugh at his misfortunes and missteps” (Artshub).
A personal favourite of Jaye’s, Robert will soon become your personal favourite too.
We will meet at our bookshop on String Bean Alley (Queen St end) in the iconic Queen Victoria Market. Tickets are $10/- each and covers the Meet the Author session, light refreshments, 10% of all books at the bookshop when purchased within the session and a traders discount at Market Espresso cafe.
Seniors in Melbourne is a website and weekly newsletter dedicated to helping people aged 60+ discover the best events, attractions, dining experiences and days out across Melbourne and Victoria.
