Wordstorm, the Festival of Australasian Writing will be held in Darwin from May 12 to 16. The South East Asian guests include the hip, the controversial, the lyrical and the award-winning. Hear about feminism and Islam with Dina Zaman and Lily Yulianti Farid, see the film that’s been viewed by almost every Indonesian, ‘Laskar Pelangi’ written by Andrea Hirata, encounter a violent and sexual Singapore you’ve never seen before with O Thiam Chin, become familiar with the first novels to be published in Tetum by Teodosia Batista Ximenes and read the book that features a clone of ‘The Prophet’ by Isa Kamari.
Wordstorm 2010 also features Australian writers who delve into Australian-Asian relations, such as Alice Pung and Patrick Allington. We’ll be reviewing the Balibo story with NT writer Jill Jolliffe and Tony Maniaty, and confronting the climate change issue with Australian legend Tim Flannery. Australian literary icons Arnold Zable, Nicolas Rothwell and Robert Adamson will take you on journeys into the heart of what matters.
