Helen Garner: The Season. Sydney Writers Festival Livestream.

Event Description

Helen Garner: The Season
Livestreamed from Sydney Writers’ Festival to Parkdale Library

Beloved Australian author Helen Garner returns with her first full-length book in a decade—The Season—a tender and observant reflection on footy, family, and the quiet power of connection.

In honour of her grandson, Helen spends a year on the sidelines of Aussie Rules football, capturing the rhythm of training sessions, matches, and moments between generations. With her trademark warmth and keen eye for detail, she paints a heartfelt and humorous portrait of sport as both theatre and tradition.

Join Helen in conversation with David Leser as she reflects on football, family, and the cycles of life.

Part of the Sydney Writers’ Festival livestream series, streamed live to Parkdale Library with the chance to take part in a live Q&A direct to the Sydney stage.
