Winter Stories<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thursday 15 July, 6:00pm-7:30pm<\/p>\n

Sidney Myer Asia Centre
\nCnr Swanston Street and Monash Road
\nUniversity of Melbourne<\/p>\n

On a cold winter\u2019s night, gather close for some good old-fashioned story-telling with all the right ingredients: mulled wine, spiced chai and a range of great tales from the region. Winter Stories<\/em> places five of Australia\u2019s punchiest fiction writers in a comfy armchair, hands them a microphone, and lets them take you away.<\/p>\n

Follow an all-women landmine clearing team through the fields of northern Cambodia, fish up the past with a Japanese abalone diver and a Buddhist monk, and walk the French-inflected streets of colonial Hanoi.<\/p>\n

Featuring: Laura Jean McKay, Catherine Cole, Xenia Hanusiak, Kalinda Ashton, Pip Newling and Tom Cho.<\/p>\n

Winter Stories <\/em>includes the launch of The Perfumed River,<\/em> a new anthology that offers diverse perspectives on Vietnam. Work from the anthology presents a portrait of a unique nation\u2019s cultural strength, built from struggles through colonization by the French, occupation by the Japanese, the American War, and the transition to a modern tourist economy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
