Newcastle Writers Festival: Talking Footy - Helen Garner and Brandon Jack
Brandon Jack
In their recent books, former Swans player Brandon Jack and Western Bulldogs tragic Helen Garner explore the culture, traditions, and tensions of the AFL. From the emotions that shape players to the dramatic highs and lows that stay with fans, they’ll explore how sport becomes story – and why the game continues to echo far beyond the field.
Hosted by Corrie Perkin.
