Adam will be speaking about his upcoming novel, Mine published by Transit Lounge.Mine description from Transit Lounge:‘If he were to move there was the chance he might fall, perhaps this time to his death, there was no way to know, and for a long time his fear of the unknown kept him locked in place and counting; come, come, come, was it beckoning him over the precipice?’While searching for inspiration for what will be his final work, an unnamed poet and defender of Tasmania’s wild places finds himself trapped down an abandoned mine in the island’s mountain rainforests. In the darkness he is visited by memories and voices both from his own past as well as the tortured history of the pillaged landscape to which he has devoted his life and work. Lost in a fever dream, in a single sentence that carries the reader effortlessly along, the poet journeys through a kaleidoscope of Tasmanian history, mining lore, hauntology, poetry, rain and rainbow trout, drilling deep into the contemporaneous horrors of the North Mount Lyell disaster and Mawson’s expedition becoming trapped in Antarctic pack ice.An unparalleled reading experience, Mine is at once wondrous, terrifying and haunting; a story of environmental vandalism and exploitation as well as a luminous paean to the beauty which persists in a world spinning out of control.Adam Ouston’s debut novel Waypoints was listed for the Miles Franklin Literary Award, the ALS Gold Medal, and the Tasmanian Literary Prize for Fiction. He lives in Lutruwita/Tasmania. Mine is his second novel.Robert Albazi interviews authors and hip-hop artists. He makes and runs the underground hip-hop zine and record label, Puff Down. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/melbourne/adam-ouston-in-conversation-with-robert-albazi/100001992538710922 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, dance, entertainment, trips-adventures - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: Bard's Apothecary - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: AUD ## Event venue details - **city**: Melbourne - **state**: VI - **country**: Australia - **location**: Bard's Apothecary - **lat**: -37.811328 - **long**: 144.9711498 - **full address**: Bard's Apothecary, 24 Crossley Street, Melbourne, Australia ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Adam Ouston in conversation with Robert Albazi - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/9974720e65f8312bd8f8c9c2f9740f97166290d80b87937d778b41780be01683-rimg-w1200-h2108-dc7ba3b7-gmir.jpg?v=1783361831 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Adam Ouston in conversation with Robert Albazi being held? - **A:** Adam Ouston in conversation with Robert Albazi takes place on Tue, 01 Sep, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Tue, 01 Sep, 2026 at 07:30 pm at Bard's Apothecary, 24 Crossley Street, Melbourne, Australia. - **Q**: Who is organizing Adam Ouston in conversation with Robert Albazi? - **A:** Adam Ouston in conversation with Robert Albazi is organized by The Paperback Bookshop. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
