Brisbane Writers Festival 2011 - Sunday

Helpful hint, in case we forgot what day of the week it was...
The first session we went to was about writing memoir, biography and autobiography.  Some extremely thoughtful and intellectually interesting ideas were thrown around.
Inside the red tent, the young man on the right, Jay Bahadur from Canada talked about his experience meeting, living with and interviewing Somali pirates.  This will be broadcast on ABC radio's Big Ideas program.
The last session we went to was about conflict in war - not my favourite subject, but interesting.
Do you like this little seating area - cubby-like isn't it?
