#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
The growing pains of a generation are vividly examined in these four very different books. Acerbic autofiction, penetrating memoir, anecdotal comedy and the wild world of reality television come together for a session that, to paraphrase Lena Dunham, asks – what if I were a voice, of a generation?
#Artists
David Goodwin
David Goodwin is the author of Servo, a side-splitting and darkly mesmeric memoir of six long years of weekend graveyard shifts in service stations across Melbourne's wild west. He is, thankfully, no longer a day-sleeper with a halogen tan, but still maintains a ruinous predilection for vodka-spiked slurpees and sausage rolls with too much tomato sauce.
Lauren Sherritt
Lauren Sherritt is a storyteller whose work spans theatre, podcasts, narrative non-fiction and digital campaigns. She was a resident at The Ethics Centre in 2023-24, exploring the ethics of having children in a world in crisis. In 2020, she was commissioned to co-write eco-feminist play Rising, which was produced by Playlab Theatre and premiered at Metro Arts in 2021. She has produced podcasts and had writing published by Junkee, Writing Queensland, Story City, Australian Stage and the Australian Theatre for Young People.
