WIN A DOUBLE PASS!
US author and surfer William Finnegan and former Tracks editor and surfer Sean Doherty talk about their surfing lives.
Sat 6 August, 7pm
Lennox Head Cultural and Community Centre
Presented by Byron Writers Festival in partnership with Lennox Arts Board
William Finnegan first started surfing as a young boy in California and Hawaii. His book Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life has just won one of the world’s most prestigious literary awards, the Pulitzer Prize. His book tells of his life spent travelling the world chasing waves through the South Pacific, Australia, Asia, Africa and beyond.
Barbarian Days is an old-school adventure story, a social history, an extraordinary exploration of one man’s gradual mastering of an exacting art. It is a memoir of dangerous obsession and enchantment.
Finnegan is coming out to Australia for a national tour and will be appearing at Byron Writers Festival as well as the special event at Lennox Head with Sean Doherty.
