Author Talk - Adam Courtenay

Bookings - 6333 6281

Journalist Adam Courtenay returns to Bathurst for his new book which examines the life of one of Australia’s high-selling authors, his father Bryce Courtenay.

Dynamic, complex, driven: Bryce Courtenay was all of these as well as one of Australia's most beloved authors. To his son Adam, he was larger than life, mercurial, and impossible to know completely. In this moving, unforgettable memoir, Adam searches for the real Bryce.

Several years after his death, Bryce still looms large in Adam's life. In seeking to understand his father, who made so many people happy with his books, Adam recounts his own 1960s and 1970s childhood, Bryce's career in advertising and his metamorphosis into bestselling novelist.
