Sydney Writer's Festival Playback - Stan Grant

Enjoy the best of the Sydney Writers’ Festival without travelling to the city! Bowral Library is hosting a series of official festival talk playbacks over four weeks, featuring some of the festival’s standout sessions.

For Week 2, hear from Stan Grant as he discusses his latest publication “When Words Fail Us”:

About the playback:

In “When Words Fail Us: Truth beyond time”, the follow-up to his profound “Murriyang: Song of Time”, Wiradjuri and Kamilaroi journalist and writer Stan Grant explores the fragility of language in loud and angry times. Drawing on a wide range of thinkers from Plato to Simone Weil to Radiohead, Stan considers truth, communication and understanding.

Hear Stan’s reflections in this special event, part address, part meditation.

Don’t miss this chance to enjoy some of Australia’s best conversations, stories and ideas without leaving town.
