About The Event
About the event:
Collisions: Fictions of the Future, a LIMINAL Anthology features emerging and established Indigenous writers and writers of colour, longlisted for the inaugural LIMINAL Fiction Prize 2019. The Prize – the first of its kind in Australia – sought fiction loosely themed around ‘the future’ and was judged by Julie Koh, Evelyn Araluen and Brian Castro. The resulting collection of genre-defying stories is essential reading for those invested in the future of fiction and the future of our shared world.
Three of the featured writers, Mykaela Saunders, Claire Cao and Naima Ibrahim will appear in-conversation with Peter Polites.
Event tickets are FREE.
You can also select an Event+Book combo ticket for $29.99 and opt to have your copies shipped to you anywhere in Australia for free!
This event will take place on Zoom. The Zoom meeting details form part of your ticket, emailed to you after registration.
