Helen Garner: The Worth of Paying Attention

Helen Garner is one of Australia’s most exciting, inventive and prolific writers. For more than half a century, her writing has been celebrated for its unerring sharpness and empathy. How to End a Story, the third volume of her published diaries, is her chronology of the disintegration of a relationship. Beloved by readers everywhere, this modern master of being ‘alive to the thingness of things’ brings her gaze and humanity to the Book Festival for the first time.
