Navigating postnatal depression: in-conversation with Jessica Friedmann
Parents are invited to this informal session in which Jessica will talk about some of the raw truths of her experience with postnatal depression, examined in her book of essays Things That Helped. Child minding (bubs and toddlers) is available and parents will be able to ask questions and engage with Jessica in this casual space. Pram parking available.
Location: Waverly Library, 32/48 Denison St, Bondi Junction NSW 2022

3.15pm–4.15pm
Stories I Had To Tell
Whether the process of a book’s coming into existence is through a rush of white heat or years of labour, the will of a writer to tell that particular story acts as its driving force. Join Sara Dowse (As the Lonely Fly), Jessica Friedmann (Things That Helped) and Mark Tedeschi (Murder at Myall Creek) as they discuss their works, which explore national and personal histories, and their need to tell these stories of justice, passion and the individual’s sometimes tenuous place within society. These fascinating writers all exemplify humanity’s quest for meaning.
