Cats may not write books, but they’ve certainly helped quite a few get written…
Join author and literary lecturer Susannah Fullerton for a talk on her latest book, Great Writers and the Cats that Owned Them.
In this illustrated talk, Susannah will explore the special bond between renowned writers and their feline companions.
She will discuss how from Dickens to Hemingway cats have inspired literary works, brought comfort and become cherished muses.
Susannah has been President of the Jane Austen Society of Australia for 30 years, and was awarded an OAM for her Services to Literature.
The talk will be held on Thursday 23 October with doors opening at 5:40pm for a 6:00pm start. This event is free for both members and non-members. Bookings can be made through Trybooking using this link.
