Synopsis
For it is in the simple act of reading where the living and the dead, the real and the imagined, meet. It is in the simple act of reading where we exercise those two most sacred of human vocations- compassion and creativity. For as we know, without either of these primes there is no possibility for a humanity present or past worth talking about. Junot Diaz A collection of essays and memoir pieces on the topic of reading, in particular what it means for writers to be readers and how that has shaped their life. The Simple Act of Reading will support Sydney Story Factory by emphasising the importance of reading in shaping an individual's future. Contributors include; Debra Adelaide, Joan London, Delia Falconer, Sunil Badami, Gabrielle Carey, Luke Davies, Tegan Bennett Daylight, Kate Forsyth, Giulia Giuffre, Andy Griffiths, Anita Heiss, Gail Jones, Jill Jones, Catherine Keenan, Malcolm Knox, Wayne Macauley, Fiona McFarlane, David Malouf, Rosie Scott, Carrie Tiffany and Geordie Williamson., Joan London ("Gilgamesh"), Luke Davies ("Candy"), Kate Forsyth ("The Witches of Eileanan"), Andy Griffiths ("The Day My Butt Went Psycho"), David Malouf ("Ransom"), and many more contribute This collection of essays and memoir pieces explores the topic of reading, in particular what it means for writers to be readers and how that has shaped their life.

They talk about the authors they revered as children; the stories and poems that shaped their own work; and the books they return to time after time: There are turning points in every reader's life. David Malouf describes the spell Jane Eyre put on him when he was thirteen. Andy Griffiths' work was shaped in part by a collection of nineteenth-century German morality tales he read as a child; Anita Heiss came to reading later, as a student devouring as many Aboriginal authors' books as she could get her hands on. Carrie Tiffany discovered the work of Thomas Hardy and Thea Astley while she was living in a caravan in central Australia. As each writer shows in their own luminous words, the simple act of reading leads to lifelong pleasures; treasured memories and unforgettable characters; and the incomparable anticipation and pleasure of beginning a brand new story.
