Adelaide Writers' Week
AWW23: Creme de la Phlegm - Melinda Harvey, Jeanine Leane, Caroline Overington & Beejay Silcox
27 Mar 2023
Chair: Catriona Menzies-Pike It was Goethe who declared "call the dog, he is a reviewer". Reviewers are almost universally pilloried as partisan, ill-informed mediocrities fuelled by malice. What leads to this perception and why are they so reviled? We consider the state of Australia’s reviewing culture and the impact of backscratching and sycophancy on its present condition. The editor of the Sydney Review of Books, Catriona Menzies-Pike, is joined by Melinda Harvey, Jeanine Leane, Caroline Overington and Beejay Silcox. Event details: Tue 07 Mar, 5:00pm on the West Stage
