Completely blown away by Israeli filmmaker/novelist Etgar Keret. Just utterly inspired. This man is a veritable genius. Daughter and I watched a documentary made on his life and short stories last night. Brilliant. #SWF2017

The End of Eddy | Edouard Louis
post image

My daughter and I attended French novelist, Édouard Louis‘ session last night, whose story of experiencing violence because of his sexuality, is another mindblowing experience. “I just want my father to stop being ashamed of me. That was my dream.” #SWF2017.

Reggie Wow. I want to read this. 7y
GatheringBooks @Reggie i ordered one of his books. definitely one of the drawbacks of attending the festival - i find myself buying even more books!!! cries. 7y

Attended two panel sessions with the inimitable Ken Liu for #SWF2017 (Singapore Writers Festival) today. He makes geeky and nerdy sound so absolutely cool. The man is hands-down brilliant.

briski I need to read his books! 7y
GatheringBooks @briski still currently reading his paper menagerie and other stories and i am now reading it with his lilting voice in mind. 7y

AmyG Oh wow. That vending machine is dangerous. ;) 7y
GatheringBooks @AmyG i restrained myself because i was afraid that i will get something i already have. that will be twenty dollars down the drain. :( 7y

My Dad Wrote a Porno | Jamie Morton

Look, the podcast didn't quite work for me, but I still recommend it to people who I think would enjoy it. Jamie Morton talking about his dad is hilarious. #sydneywritersfestival #swf2017
