The Rose Scott Women Writer's Festival presents Diana Reid Love and Virtue (Ultimo Press, 2021) in conversation with Intan Paramaditha.
Feminism, power and sex play out through the eyes of Australian uni students in a contemporary novel that combines insight and wit.
Shortlisted for Indie Book Awards for Debut Fiction 2021, Love and Virtue (Ultimo Press, 2021) is the debut novel of Sydney based writer Diana Reid.
Written with a strikingly contemporary voice that is both wickedly clever and incisive, issues of consent, class and institutional privilege, and feminism become provocations for enduring philosophical questions we face today.
Diana Reid is a Sydney-based writer, who graduated from the University of Sydney last year with a Bachelor of Arts (First Class Hons Philosophy)/Laws. In January 2020, her career in theatre was off to a promising start: the musical she co-wrote and produced, 1984! The Musical!, debuted and she was set to direct and write theatre performances in Sydney and over to the Edinburgh Fringe. When COVID-19 saw the cancellation of global theatre, she decided she'd spend her time in shutdown writing a manuscript. Love & Virtue is her debut novel.
Intan Paramaditha is a writer and an academic. Her novel The Wandering (Harvill Secker/ Penguin Random House UK), translated from the Indonesian language by Stephen J. Epstein, was nominated for the Stella Prize in Australia and awarded the Tempo Best Literary Fiction in Indonesia, English PEN Translates Award, and PEN/ Heim Translation Fund Grant from PEN America. She is the author of the short story collection Apple and Knife and the editor of Deviant Disciples: Indonesian Women Poets, part of the Translating Feminisms series of Tilted Axis Press. She holds a Ph.D. from New York University and teaches media and film studies at Macquarie University, Sydney.
'An absolute cracker, Love & Virtue lobs right into the current moment with a clarifying light. I hope everyone reads this book,' Helen Garner
'A great read that will become an Australian classic,' Sydney Morning Herald.
Bookings are essential for both In Club and Zoom.
