Former Senator and Parliamentary Leader of the Australian Greens, Bob Brown is one of Australia’s most thoughtful and recognised public figures. This book — the first time that Bob has spoken about his life since his retirement from public life in 2012 — illustrates why he remains optimistic about the future. Optimism reflects on the simple things, the moments that are meaningful, and the big questions that have concerned Bob Brown. Inspirational, compassionate and outraged, the stories are rich with metaphor, entertaining and full of warmth. This memoir reveals a complex man with a quick wit, a passion for activism and a joy for life.
The Hobart Bookshop and Black Inc. Publishing present the launch, by Jo Flanagan, of James Boyce’s new book, Born Bad: Original Sin and the Making of the Western World.
5.30pm, Thursday 7th August.
Free event, all welcome.
‘The purpose of this book is not to defend or condemn the Western creation story, but to challenge the assumption that its influence was ended by science and secularism.’ – James Boyce (author of the award-winning Van Diemen’s Land: A History and 1835: The Founding of Melbourne and the Conquest of Australia)
