Australian author Tom Keneally and ABC presenter Kerry O’Brien had a lively conversation on Saturday at the Byron at Byron resort discussing Tom’s latest book, From Flappers to Vietnam.
The event was the first of a series of ‘in conversation’ sessions with top writers which former Byron Bay Writers Festival director Candy Baker plans to bring to the northern rivers next year.
Both Kerry and Tom share an Irish Catholic background, a love of rugby and a partiality to a drop or two of good red.
The event was put on by Candida Baker, Verandah magazine and the Byron at Byron resort.
