Fitzroy Writer's Festival - Pictures of you: Tony Birch on the art of the short story

Join award-winning author Tony Birch in conversation with writer and critic Bec Kavanagh for a special event as he discusses his latest work, Pictures of You: Collected Stories (UQP).

Author of The White Girland Women and Children, Tony presents a powerful new collection of short fiction—profound, funny, and poignant stories written over the past two decades that explore themes of resilience, justice, and everyday grace.

Tony will be joined in conversation by writer and critic Bec Kavanagh for a rich discussion on storytelling, character, and the social and emotional landscapes of contemporary Australian fiction. Together, they’ll also explore the craft and discipline of short fiction as a literary form—its precision, emotional depth, and unique ability to capture fleeting yet transformative moments.
