Bonnie Garmus, author of the literary phenomenon Lessons in Chemistry, is coming to Brisbane in May 2024!
A crackling cocktail of mordant wit and potent social commentary, Lessons offers a drily comic glimpse into the lives of overlooked women and has captivated readers worldwide. Following a chemist turned celebrity chef who hijacks her primetime television spot to deliver acerbic feminist subversion, Lessons is bitingly imaginative, a novel as thought-provoking as it is delightful.
Speaking of chemistry, Bonnie will be in conversation with the always charming Frances Whiting, Brisbane’s beloved writer and interviewer. We don’t know much about science, but we can say with confidence it’s a formula for splendid evening.
This event will sell out, so get in quick. And with Christmas just around the corner, buying tickets to Bonnie is a recipe for gift-giving success!
