In 2008, John Birmingham released his electrifying thriller Without Warning, which imagined a world where an unexplained energy field wipes out America. Now, he returns to that world with his new blockbuster: After America. The much-loved author of He Died with a Felafel in His Hand and the Weapons of Choice trilogy talks about his new passion for the epic page-turner, and where speculative fiction and geopolitical commentary collide.
John Birmingham will be introduced by David Astle.
John Birmingham is the author of the cult classic He Died With a Felafel in His Hand and most recently the thriller, Without Warning.
David Astle is the public face of dictionary nerds, thanks to his umpire role on SBS’s Letters and Numbers. (What other show can revel in CARBONITE, REBONE or the plural of SWINE?) His latest book is Puzzled, a quirky guide to the history and secret of word puzzles.
This is a free event. Booking recommended.
