Description
Cabaret's favourite book club returns, with a fresh line-up of book nerds.
Curl up with Helen's Garner's funny, electric and moving Australian classic, The Children's Bach.
Join Virginia Gay, Annabel Crabb, and writer Lur Alghurabi in conversation, confab and cackling, accompanied by scintillating jazz covers of Bach from Michelle Nicolle, as well as killer hits from the 1984 Melbourne music scene (yes, we got Crabb to ask Garner specifically what live gigs the characters attended).
Buy, borrow, or dust off your copy of this brilliant Australian novella and spend a Sunday afternoon with your new best friends.
"Don't explain everything. Leave holes. The music will do the rest."— Helen Garner, 'The Children's Bach'
