In Conversation: Helen Garner & Bob Murphy Led By Mel Fulton
About
Don’t miss this conversation about sport, adolescence, belonging, and community on the back of Helen’s remarkable new book, The Season.In Helen Garner’s new book, The Season, she immerses herself in grassroots football from the sidelines as a spectator of her grandson’s club. Bob Murphy’s book, Leather Soul, details his time playing for the Western Bulldogs with vulnerable clarity. In this discussion led by Mel Fulton, Deputy Editor of The Big Issue Australia, we bring together two legends of Victorian culture and community to chat about sport, fandom, youth, boyhood, belonging, hope and community. All at the spiritual home of football in the West, Whitten Oval, as the Western Bulldogs celebrate their 100th year as a club.
