Hobart Bookshop
The Hobart Bookshop and Text Publishing are pleased to invite you to the launch of Deep South, edited by Danielle Wood and Ralph Crane.
This handsome hardback collection, the first to bring together the finest stories about Tasmania, includes works by notable early Australian writers, such as Marcus Clarke and Tasma; internationally renowned practitioners, like Hal Porter, Carmel Bird and Nicholas Shakespeare; and a range of newer voices, from Danielle Wood and Rohan Wilson to Rachael Treasure.
These twenty-four superb stories showcase the island’s colonial past, its darkness and humour, the unique beauty and savagery of its landscape.
Both a must-read for enthusiasts of Australian literature and a perfect gift for lovers of Tasmania, Deep South comes with a critical introduction from the editors and biographical sketches of the contributors.
Why not start your Christmas shopping on September 27th at the launch: this book will make a beautiful gift for both your friends and family on the island, and those far away!
Join us at the Founders Room in the Salamanca Arts Centre.
Free event, all welcome.
