Canberra Writers Festival – On Sleep

Fleur Anderson In Conversation with Dan Bourchier

For insomniacs everywhere, On Sleep tackles with gusto our love-hate relationship with slumber. Fleur Anderson has written a highly readable and entertaining book that ponders the big questions about how much sleep is really enough. The former journalist will be in conversation with local ABC identity and workaholic Dan Bouchier.
