Book Launch: My Brother Jaz by Gideon Haigh (VIC)

Join us to hear Gideon Haigh in conversation with Sally Warhaft.

My Brother Jaz by Gideon Haigh is a profoundly moving memoir on grief and resilience. In January 2024, in a period of personal crisis, Gideon Haigh abruptly started writing the story of the night his seventeen-year-old brother Jasper was killed, finally facing how it had shaped the rest of his life. Seventy-two hours later he stopped. Dark, raw and revealing, My Brother Jaz is how it feels to lose someone, and yourself, even as the rest of the world turns, and you struggle to keep up. Gideon Haigh has published over 50 books on various topics. This is the first about himself.

Free, but bookings are essential.
