Killing is one of the must-read books of 2009, a fearless investigation of the violent underpinnings of modern society. Whether you missed the launch in July, or you’ve had time to read the book and want to thrash it out with the author – this is your chance to hear Jeff Sparrow discussing his work in a more intimate setting.
Jeff Sparrow is editor of Overland. He is the author of Communism: A Love Story (Melbourne University Press, 2006) and, with Jill Sparrow, Radical Melbourne: A Secret History (Vulgar Press, 2001) and Radical Melbourne 2: The enemy within (Vulgar Press, 2004).
Jeff Sparrow's Killing:Misadventures in Violence
16th July 6pm for 6.30pm
We head upstairs this week to the Bella Union Bar on a Thursday for the launch of Bookshop Favorite Jeff's latest book. There's no cover charge, just rock up at the usual time for a drink and a copy of Jeff's book!
Compassionate, engaged and political, Killing takes us up close to the ways society kills today, meditating on what violence means, not just for perpetrators but for all of us.
