Errol Flynn was one of the first larger-than-life celebrities, an icon of the screen. This major biography uncovers the real story behind the well-cultivated Hollywood myths of this Australian-born actor. Handsome and charismatic, Errol Flynn was one of the first great screen idols. He mesmerised millions around the world with his swordsmanship, swagger and smouldering sexuality. He portrayed an array of heroes in the Golden Age of Hollywood, and his life off screen was no less colourful. This groundbreaking biography is the first complete account of Errol Flynn's life, from his unusual childhood in Tasmania and damaging family secrets, to his time in the brutal plantations of New Guinea, and his discovery by a Warner talent spotter. He quickly found fame in lead roles in blockbuster films like Captain Blood and The Adventures of Robin Hood. He was the man who had it all, who every man wanted to be, who every woman wanted. This is a revealing and intimate portrait of Flynn, and gives serious attention to the many women in his life for the first time. Flynn's 1943 rape trial uncovered the sexual trafficking of underage girls in Hollywood on a grand scale. Tragically, he died aged only fifty, the result of a life lived to excess.

With 186 architectural decorations carved in relief by convicts, the Ross Bridge is an expression of defiance against the monarchy and the establishment – a rare, historic document written in stone. Some stones are poignant, but many are subversive, satirical, cynical and lewd. They depict crime and punishment, home and separation, ever-present death and hope of re-birth. The bridge sculptures are one of the great enigmas of Tasmanian art. Nobody knows whence came the strange shapes in the carvings: anthropomorphic and hybrid animals, human-like creatures from a fairy world, floral forms, images of water, the crushed earth, the U-forms that look like wombs, the lozenges that look like vulvas, and the phalli on ubiquitous hares, as well as weird masks, ropes and tools. As a descendant of convict quarryman, Thomas Herbert, of the Ross Bridge party, Jennie Jackson was drawn to research the details of the carvings. Thanks to developments in photographic technology and easier access to archives, Jackson has been able to reconsider earlier interpretations and explore the intrigue of these stones. Jennie Jackson’s work as a general practitioner in the midlands of Tasmania took her across the Ross Bridge between Oatlands and Campbell Town every rostered day, while she was majoring in sculpture at the Tasmanian School of Art. As she researched and interpreted the details of the carvings, she realised the value of her practice of Jungian psychology and women’s health. Over eight years, she has prepared biographies of Daniel Herbert, Charles Atkinson, Rum John Conn and Mary Witherington and has developed an archive, a web site, lectured, written essays and published a small book with The People’s Library, The Ross Bridge, A Cast of Characters (2018). Her aim is to educate everyone about the historical significance and rarity of the convicts’ subversive art before the carvings weather away. Jennie will be in conversation with Jan Dineen, Tasmanian textile artist and Kathy Rundle, Tasmanian archivist, librarian and teacher. Join Jennie, Jan, and Kathy at the Afterword Cafe.

Once the boundaries of normality are broken, anything can happen … In 1960s Tanzania, Sara Brayden spends years longing for a baby, while struggling in her conventional role as a mine manager’s wife. She was born into a life of moving with the seasons, in the company of nomad herding families, on the grassy plains of Serengeti. As her marriage fractures, Sara’s quest for motherhood leads her on an extraordinary journey. It begins on the moonlit shores of Silver Lake, where a family tragedy sparks an encounter with a stranger she can never forget … Her search takes her half a world away, to the island of Tasmania.

A father who has been abducted by aliens; a mother who sees the spirits of dead people; a sister who communicates with angry dogs; and 29-year-old Noah Grey, whose life has gone off the rails. In Tasmania, strange lights appear in the skies every summer, signalling we’re part of something bigger than the world of our worries. Bigger even than our hopes. When economic pressures force the Greys to live together for one season – the first time in twelve years since Noah left home after college – tensions are high. Things get weird as locals become increasingly convinced the residents at this Hobart address have been targeted for alien abduction. As the summer unfolds Noah accepts things will never be normal again, even though his measure is the simplest of all. Family love. ‘Brendan Colley is writing the kind of book I want to be reading: joyous, weird, sad and loving, and with a sustained undercurrent of real kindness and real humanity. I love the slightly unhinged premise that a novel about family, community, and a poet adrift in his life is also absolutely about flying saucers, and Colley weaves the ideas together in a way that makes you think, Ah, of course.’ Kate Kruimink, author of Heartsease and A Treacherous Country. Brendan Colley was born in South Africa, and made Tasmania his home in 2009.

The winner of the inaugural Australian Fiction Prize, Every Wild Soul is a lyrical and compelling tale of secrets, survival, and the healing power of nature. On Tasmania's wild and remote Maria Island, eighteen-year-old Min is trying to break free from her controlling, overly protective father, the island's head ranger. Her unlikely ally is Werner, an eccentric, homeless biologist who has always taught her to care for the imperilled natural world around her - even as it sets them against Piers, her father, who has his own plans. When Lucie, a journalist haunted by her family's role in the thylacine's extinction, arrives from London to investigate the island's Tasmanian devil conservation project, she is drawn into the island's rare beauty and mysteries, discovering a community grappling with the tension between progress and preservation, care and control. After a tempestuous storm sees a stranger wash ashore, a chain of events is set in motion that ends in a shocking and mysterious death, only weeks later. A breathtakingly beautiful and gripping exploration of humanity's connection to the wild - and the hope that can be born from even the darkest of times - Every Wild Soul is an absorbing and evocative exploration of resilience, rewilding and healing, a story with nature and courage at its heart.

From New York Times bestselling author and journalist Sarah Wilson comes a deeply moving, wise guide to finding beauty and meaning in a collapsing world. It’s hard to escape the feeling that something is deeply wrong with our world . . . that life has become precariously off-balance. We are hit hourly with headlines about climate catastrophes, tumbling democracies and fertility rates, AI singularity and nuclear threat, increasing economic inequality and genocidal slaughter, and the rise of technofascist and authoritarian rule. Why now, and why everything, all at once? In I Eat the Stars, Sarah Wilson argues we are undergoing what every sophisticated civilisation before us has – complex systems collapse. But how do we continue to live as sensitive, tender-hearted humans amidst such a tumultuous shift? What does life look like when the systems we rely on deteriorate? How do we make financial decisions? Should we be prepping or homesteading? Should we be having kids? How do we hold the grief and process the moral injuries? And, so importantly, how do we avoid succumbing to doom and despair? In I Eat the Stars, Sarah Wilson delves into these pressing questions (and her answers are rarely the obvious ones!). Drawing on wisdom gained from more than 200 conversations with scientists, energy futurists, historians, philosophers, game theorists and spiritual leaders, Wilson takes readers on an intimate journey as she lays out a path for living fully, meaningfully and beautifully through these troubled times. Our predicament, she argues, is ultimately an urgent call to us all to relish what is valuable to us – “to eat the stars” – and to return to our humanity once again. I Eat the Stars empowers. With her warm, incisively intelligent, wise and down-to-earth voice, Wilson creates a space for readers to confront their fears and anxieties about our uncertain future, guiding us toward one rooted in truth, kindness, justice, creativity, community, and to step up as “warriors” to meet this moment. What if, she asks, this new world we’re entering is more stunning than we’d ever imagined? Sarah Wilson is a multi-New York Times and Amazon bestselling author, social philosopher, international keynote speaker, minimalist and philanthropist. She edited Cosmopolitan magazine Australia at 29, founded the global I Quit Sugar movement, hosted the most-watched TV series in the nation’s history – Masterchef Australia – and wrote the international bestseller First, We Make the Beast Beautiful, which Mark Manson described as 'the best book on living with anxiety that I’ve ever read.' Her most recent book, This One Wild and Precious Life, won the US Gold Nautilus Prize and her recent TEDx talk on civilisational collapse is an 'editor’s pick' on the global site. Sarah leads dynamic, global conversations about modern philosophy, creativity, existential risk and climate change via her keynote speaking, Wild podcast, and her Substack and social communities of half a million followers. She lives nomadically, but is based between Paris and Sydney, is a compulsive hiker and adventurer. In conversation with Sarah is Hannah Moloney. Hannah is a TV presenter on ABC’s Gardening Australia, permaculture practitioner, bestselling author and climate activist. When she has a quiet moment, you’ll find her in Nipaluna/Hobart gardening, playing the ukulele (badly but happily), trail running (badly but happily), painting birds and hanging with her delightful family.
