Literati Glitterati: Debut Salon
Literati Glitterati launches its monthly book club with a special live edition in the Triple R Performance Space. We unpack the inaugural book of the month: Dorothy Porter’s iconic lesbian crime thriller, The Monkey’s Mask. Celebrating thirty years since its 1994 release, this modern Australian classic is gritty, sensual and pioneering in form, told in short verses that hit like your favourite song lyrics. Mel is joined by special guests RVG’s Romy Vager, Worms Book Club’s Hayley Percy, and Dorothy’s surviving partner, award-winning novelist Andrea Goldsmith. The Literati Glitterati Salon is a new monthly book club for folks who like a good story, well told.
