Bendigo Writers Festival – 8th May – Bendigo: Writing that warps, that takes a straight line and curls it, that bores holes into the surface of things to let things in – or out. That’s speculative fiction and it comes in all shapes and hues. Jason Nahrung invites Eugen Bacon, Rachel Nightingale and Garth Nix to let us into their way of seeing things – if you dare.
