Book Launch: A New History of Greek-Australian Literature

3:00pm | Sun 7 Dec | The Greek Centre | Free

A New History of Greek-Australian Literature marks a significant contribution to the documentation of our community’s literary output. Written by Dr Konstandina Dounis and presented in a bilingual edition translated by Christos Avramoudas, the publication maps more than a century of Greek-Australian writing and the voices that have shaped it.

Hosted by SeaRiver Press in collaboration with the Hellenic Writers Association of Australia, the Greek-Australian Cultural League, the Food for Thought Network and the Greek Democritus Workers League, this launch offers attendees the chance to hear directly from the author and engage with this important new work. Refreshments and light supper will be available.
