Online Launch for Gentle and Fierce

My new book, Gentle and Fierce, came out last month, and we’ll soon be officially celebrating its publication with an online launch on Wednesday 18th August. It’s free and open to all, and I’ll be chatting to Keri Glastonbury about some of the ideas behind the book, and doing some short readings from it: to register, click on the image above and it will take you to the booking page, or this link.
In other Gentle and Fierce news, you can read some of the behind the scenes stories from the book at gentlefierce.com and an excerpt, the essay Perec’s Cat, at the Sydney Review of Books. Thanks to everyone who has sent me messages over the last few months – I know the book’s been a good companion to some of you in lockdown, which makes me happy! For all the frustrations of having a new book come out in lockdown, it’s good to think of it out there, finding its readers.
