Indigenous Australian literature panel featured at the 2019 National Book Festival in Washington, DC [View all]

The National Book Festival takes place every year in Washington, D.C., and showcases writers of all kinds — historians, novelists, poets — and this year featured a panel of Australian writers.

Video from C-SPAN's Book TV is not yet available, but I will keep a lookout for it. I'm also checking the Library of Congress account on YouTube, which has been adding author events over the past 24 hours.

The Indigenous Australian literature panel, which Wheeler organized with the support of the Australian Embassy, will include Kim Scott, an award-winning novelist and subject of Wheeler’s second book; Brenton McKenna, Australia’s first Indigenous graphic novelist, and Jeanine Leane, an award-winning poet and novelist who visited Claflin University in 2017 and 2016.
