Adrian Hyland

Lalor Library

Tuesday 8 June

7.00pm-8.00pm

Adrian Hyland spent many years in the Northern Territory, living and working among indigenous people. He now teaches at LaTrobe University. Diamond Dove, his first novel was the first crime novel to feature an indigenous protagonist since Arthur Upfield's 'Boney' series.

In his new novel Gunshot Road, Adrian takes us to the outback – a place we think we know, and have mostly never seen. Introducing us to the people who belong there – a different people, as wise, foolish and fallible as the rest of us. And spinning a veil of wit and lyrical beauty through which we can see them truly.

Booking required: phone Lalor library on 9465 2353, or book online at http://www.yprl.vic.gov.au/
