Join celebrated journalist Jana Wendt as she unveils her debut collection of short stories in a special event held over a two-course dinner at Montalto.
Beloved Gold Logie-winning journalist Jana Wendt offers insight into her extraordinary life and work: from her glittering career in Australian television and smashing the glass ceiling, to leaving it all behind and turning her hand to the written word.
In her new short story collection The Far Side of the Moon, Wendt brings her trademark curiosity, rigour, intelligence and generosity to bear with keenly written works that illuminate the human condition. A powerful observer of ordinary people and the moments that define them, Wendt’s stories offer poignant portraits of vital friendships, wrenching tragedies and enduring loves.
This is a rare opportunity to hear from one of Australia’s most lauded journalists in discussion, after decades away from the spotlight. Join Wendt, and Virginia Trioli, at this unmissable edition of Books and Ideas at Montalto.
Presented in partnership with Montalto
