About The Event
Beloved Australian screenwriter, actor and author, Matt Nable has recently penned STILL. Complete with a gripping suspenseful narrative, and compelling characters, against the backdrop of a 1960s Darwin summer, Matt’s prose is a visceral ode to the top end. A skilful and engaging author, Nable uses his genre to explore the human condition with themes of racism, corruption and constrained expectations of a suburban 1960s woman, STILL is unforgettable and a must-read in 2021.
