Tell Me Again by Amy Thunig
May's Feature Book
Readers,
Our next title to tackle is the memoir Tell Me Again by Dr Amy Thunig, Indigenous academic, writer, all-round superstar. In The Saturday Paper, Ben Abbatangelo writes of it that: “Amy Thunig wanders deep into her interior wilderness to bring readers her generous and courageous debut memoir… Born into a world programmed to decimate her people, Thunig’s enduring compassion, righteous refusal and vivid imagination transform the woodchippings that she was dealt into an abundant forest.”
And in the Sydney Morning Herald, Declan Fry writes: “…Relating such incidents, Thunig slips into a mode of surgical precision, as if the memory were alive and delicate, a living thing whose viscera demand careful evisceration (there is always the risk of losing the body’s integrity, the sense of self).”
Our conversation will be on Weds May 24th, in person at ACE in Parramatta and will be lead by none other than the wonderful poet and artist Jazz Money!
Once again folks, please register your attendance here - spots are limited, and it helps us prepare for the evening’s tea and snacks. Happy reading, and looking forward to seeing y’all there next month!
Salaam,
Omar
