Peter Rose @ Eltham Library

Spend an evening with literary icon PETER ROSE to celebrate his recent novel, Roddy Parr.

A witty, seductive and moving novel of a famous writer and his acolyte, Roddy Parr, is a classic tale of a young man making his way in the world, finding his vocation and finding love. In the case of Roddy Parr, that world is the Australian literary world – one that is known very well to the memoirist, poet and novelist - Peter Rose.

Roddy is a brilliant and ambitious young Melbourne man whose vocation is shadowed by unspoken secrets and the love he finds tests him to his very limit.

This is a very human story – a universal tale of an ambitious and naive outsider entering the rarefied domain of privilege and influence.

Peter Rose is well known for his bestselling memoir, ROSE BOYS, for his poetry (his most recent collection is RATTUS RATTUS) and for his editorship of AUSTRALIAN BOOK REVIEW.
