Hilary McPhee: Memoirs of a Young Bastard
Publisher Hilary McPhee, editor of celebrated film-maker Tim Burstall’s diaries, explores the impetus to diarise and the appeal of diaries as windows to the past. Burstall’s diaries in particular paint a stark portrait of the language of sex and gender conventions in 1950s Australia, an area of study close to McPhee’s heart. Join us for an investigation of a unique and fascinating snapshot of the life of one of Australia’s true bohemians, in the hands of a master researcher.
