Robert Gott at Bendigo Writers Festival

Friday 11 August

1:30pm – 2:30pm
The Lure of Crime
Location: Bendigo Bank Theatre at The Capital, 50 View St, Bendigo VIC 3550

Books about crime both real and imagined are so popular it’s clear there’s an appetite for the genre. Is it good plotting that makes it work? How much violence is enough, too much? Is research important? What about happy endings – essential or impossible? Robert Gott, Ray Mooney, Claire Corbett talk to Cecile Shanahan about ingenious plots, dangerous liaisons, and what matters for writers and readers hooked on crime.

Saturday 12 August

2:30pm – 3:30pm
Naked Man Live
Location: Engine Room at Old Fire Station, 58 View St, Bendigo VIC 3550

The creator of the cult cartoon, Robert Gott, heads to Bendigo – with visuals (and please note, images do include naked people) – to reveal all about why the longest-running dick joke in the world continues to amuse rather than offend. Now’s your chance to see the man behind the behind!

Sunday August 13

4:00pm – 5:00pm
Transformers
Location: Trades Hall, 34-40 View St, Bendigo VIC 3550

Novelists are outrageous.They watch the rest of us covertly, carefully, thoughtfully, then turn us into characters, as though we are mere fodder for their imagination. Elizabeth Kostova, Rose Michael and Robert Gott talk to Dianne Dempsey about the transformative process of creating characters.
