July 28th, 2026Writer Richard Flanagan

One of Australia’s most respected and internationally acclaimed writers, Richard Flanagan will talk about his latest collection, Heresies, and his writing career with Astrid Edwards in Castlemaine next month.

From Manus to MONA to birds and the Black Summer, from the destruction of our natural world to the hope offered by Indigenous Australia to the growing corrosion of democracy, from Salman Rushdie to the Segal Report, family and love, Flanagan’s non-fiction writings carry the author’s trademark elegance, subversive wit, and humanity.
This showcase of Richard Flanagan’s heretical brilliance over 20 years speaks to the heart of our troubled times now.
The event will be held on Thursday, August 6 from 7pm to 8.30pm.
