Write Out West Festival: James Bradley in Conversation with Lee Constable

Join James Bradley, writer and critic in discussion with science and sustainability presenter Lee Constable.

This session is best suited for adults. Tickets cost $5 per person; bookings are essential.

James’s most recent title “Deep Water” invites you to explore the deepest recesses of our natural world. “Deep Water” is a hymn to the beauty, mystery and wonder of the ocean. Weaving together science, history and personal experience, it offers vital new ways of understanding not just humanity's relationship with the planet, but our past – and perhaps most importantly, our future.

'Teeming with mysteries, wonders and heartbreaking facts, this beautiful, lucid hymn to the sea is a reminder of what we still have, what we stand to lose, and why we must never stop fighting to save our home.' Tim Winton

QBD Books will be there. Purchase books to have them personally signed.
