Kim Scott talks “Taboo” ahead of Sydney Writers’ Festival
Professor Kim Scott, a Noongar man, is widely regarded one of Australia’s most acclaimed fiction writers. The two-time Miles Franklin Literary Award winning writer spoke to Professor Heidi Norman about his most recent novel, Taboo, which tells the story of a group of Noongar people who revisit a taboo place, the site of a massacre that followed the assassination (by Noongar kin) of a white man who stole a black woman, after many decades.
Scott will be appearing at the Sydney Writers’ Festival at the Carrington Hotel in Katoomba on April 30th and Carriageworks on May 4th to talk about his novel, and on a panel discussion at the Seymour Centre on May 6th about the role of fiction in the ongoing discovery of our past. Tickets are available on the Sydney Writers Festival website here.
