The Wheeler Centre: Books and Ideas at Montalto

In this live-streamed conversation hosted by Sami Shah, Zable will discuss a subject that’s woven through all his writing: the dignity and decency of ordinary people.

Arnold Zable is a much-loved Australian writer and a life-long traveller. He’s well known for his affectionate accounts of the characters and suburbs of his hometown, Melbourne (in Cafe Scheherazade and The Fighter) as well as his portraits of people and places he's encountered all across the world, in his incredibly far-reaching travels (Violin Lessons).

As a writer and a human rights advocate, Zable has written across a number of forms – including fiction, travelogue and biography – but all his work is consumed with questions of memory and displacement. His writing is gentle, wise and always deeply humane.
