The Italian Cultural Institute of Sydney is pleased to host the presentation of The Legend of Busby, a touching memoir written by Vittoria Pasquini, an Italian professor at the Australian National University in Canberra. The book tells the story of a special house, a “sandcastle” on the hill of Bronte, overlooking Sydney’s sea. Through the imagined gaze of the house itself, the author retraces the most significant moments of her life and the lives of the people who lived there. These pages reveal the pain of losing her husband and son Valerio, who tragically died in a car accident in Malawi, but also the strength of a woman who found new hope in family bonds, friendships and her commitment to others. Among the memories shared, the house becomes a silent witness to events ranging from the most dramatic, such as the challenges of a family marked by grief, to the joys shared with friends, and acts of solidarity toward those most vulnerable. The story intertwines with memories of her family home in Italy and the author’s experiences in distant places like Kenya, the United States, and Algeria, offering a glimpse into a life filled with challenges, but also extraordinary beauty. After the loss of Valerio, Vittoria founded the Valerio Daniel De Simoni Association, which keeps the memory of her son alive through concrete acts of help for the most fragile, including refugees. This presentation will be a unique opportunity to hear the stories that animate the book directly from the author’s voice and reflect on the strength of memory, family bonds, and solidarity. The presentation will be in English. Information Source: Istituto Italiano di Cultura | eventbrite

We're celebraiting the launch of Adam Farrer's beautiful new book Broken Biscuits,chaired by Kathryn Tann (Seaglass). Join us for what promises to be an excellent evening out in York, 25th February 7pm Broken Biscuits: When it comes to the challenge of being a man, Adam Farrer always seems to find a way to fall short… Broken Biscuits vividly recounts Adam’s struggles to live up to masculine expectations, real or imagined. From the calamity of his first serious relationship to an obsession with Prince that sees everyone questioning his sexuality, and from the repercussions of his adult circumcision to his doubts about his ability to survive the apocalypse, this candid and personal collection of essays is astonishingly far-reaching and riotously funny. Holding up a mirror to Adam’s own body image, his relationship with his family, his sense of self-worth and the mortifying experience of arriving at a teenage party wearing strawberry-patterned short shorts, this book is about growing up and trying to define yourself as a man but somehow always missing the mark. Kathryn Tann (Seaglass) On a windswept stretch of the Durham coastline, there’s treasure to be found: jewels of shining sea glass, swept in by the tide after years at sea. Gathered together in a jar on the windowsill, each seaworn pebble is a moment in time, a glinting archive of unknowable lives. Seaglass is a collection of such moments; essays blending creative non-fiction with nature writing and memoir, and portraying with powerful observation and moving honesty the journey of a young woman navigating modern adulthood. The stories draw a map of Kathryn’s life, from Manchester to the South Wales coastline and out to the Thousand Islands in Canada’s Saint Lawrence River. Traversing wilderness, natural history, travel and water – rivers, lakes, coastlines and leisure centres –Seaglass explores shared experiences, anxieties, confidence and contentment. Ticketing: General Admission: £6 Book and Ticket: £19 There will be a signing after the event. Information Source: Waterstones | eventbrite
