What writers read

6-7pm, Tuesday 25 August 2026 at Five Leaves Left, 41 Victoria St Hobart

Join us in August as Brendan Colley talks with Jane Rawson about Charles Bukowski’s, ‘Post Office‘. Did you know Charles Bukowski is Jewel’s favourite writer? Neither did I until yesterday! But anyway, we’ll be talking about ‘Post Office’, which is ‘lurid, uncompromising and hilarious’ and ‘a landmark in American literature’.

Tickets include a can of wine or mocktail and you can buy one here for $10.

Brendan Colley was born in South Africa, and made Tasmania his home in 2009. His first novel, The Signal Line, won the Unpublished Manuscript Prize in the 2019 Tasmanian Premier’s Literary Awards, and was shortlisted for the Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards and The Age Book of the Year Awards. The Season for Flying Saucers is his second novel. He lives in Hobart with his wife.
