Fitzroy Icons — Helen Garner on The Season

Spend an evening with Helen Garner in conversation with comedian Broden Kelly about The Season, her account of a year spent shadowing her grandson’s under 16s AFL team, the Flemington Colts.

The book is a love letter to footy, to her last grandchild as he passes from boy to man, and to the joys of youth and team sport

Helen Garner writes novels, stories, screenplays and works of non-fiction. Her works include Monkey Grip, The Children’s Bach, The First Stone, Joe Cinque’s Consolation, The Spare Room, This House of Grief and three volumes of her diaries. She lives in Melbourne.

Bookings required.
