Safran at book festival

SATIRIST and gonzo-journalist John Safran is shaking the cage of not only the establishment but also a breathtaking range of elements across the social/political spectrum in his new book, Depends What You Mean By Extremist.

Celebrated Australian author Kate Grenville investigates the science of scent and the power of the perfume industry in The Case Against Fragrance. Award-winning US science writer Dava Sobel uncovers the little-known true story of women astronomers in The Glass Universe.

These are but three stars among a galaxy of big-name Australian and international writers lining up for the Byron Writers Festival on August 4-6.
