Main Stage
Join award-winning author and festival favourite Jock Serong as he discusses his latest novel, Cherrywood. Spanning both 1916 Edinburgh and 1993 Melbourne, the novel combines history, mystery and a touch of magic realism, focusing on a strange pub in Fitzroy and its profound connections across time. Serong will explore themes of legacy, love, grief and reinvention and the process of weaving together such a complex, multi-layered narrative. With echoes of Cloud Atlas and The Overstory, Cherrywood is a darkly imaginative story of dreamers, schemers, and the haunting ties that bind us to the past.
