Book launch of My Father’s Shadow by Sandra Goldbloom Zurbo
Sandra Goldbloom Zurbo will discuss her memoir, My Father’s Shadow (Monash University Publishing). Sandra’s novel, The Book of Rachel (A&U), was translated into German. Her short stories and poems have been published in literary magazines, including Griffith Review and Westerly. In 1982 Sandra established Dead Set, the first desktop publishing company to work specifically with book publishers. Concurrently, and for the past 40 years, she has worked as a non-fiction editor for leading academic and trade publishers.
Sandra Goldbloom Zurbo grew up in thrall to her father, a prominent antiwar activist, brilliant political organiser and covert member of the Communist Party. From an early age, she adopted his beliefs, becoming a supporter of the Soviet Union and a peace campaigner.
But as the communist ideals of the Left were tested and faltered, the mood of the times shifted to embrace the counterculture.
