Meet Sulari Gentill...
How crime (writing) interprets the world: Sisters in Crime national convenor and crime author, Robin Bowles, shines the spotlight on three Australian crime writers, Sulari Gentill, Angela Savage and PM Newton. In A Few Right-thinking Men, first-time author, Sulari Gentill, investigates the Sydney of the 1930s when mounting political tensions between communists and the right-wing New Guard, fuelled by the Great Depression, threatened to take Australia to the brink of revolution. Artist Rowland Sinclair, from a wealth grazing family, is indifferent to the politics… until a brutal murder exposes an extraordinary and treasonous conspiracy. The Age named the book ‘pick of the week’ on June 19. Sulari set out to study astrophysics, ended up graduating in law, and later abandoned her legal career to write books instead of contracts. Lives in Batlow, NSW. -

From an idea to the bookshelves, and all the sweat and tears between: the experience of a debut novelist is one that is excruciatingly hard and inimitably rewarding. The authors on the panel have endured the multifaceted publishing process firsthand. After an eclectic career, Steve Toltz wrote his first novel, A Fraction of the Whole, to worldwide acclaim. The massive 700-page episodic novel was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and for the Guardian First Book Award. On the other side of the publishing spectrum is John M. Green, who had firsthand experience being in the slush pile as a writer and also being behind the desk as a publisher. The co-founder of independent Australian book publisher Pantera Press, he spent 30 years in executive life before he decided to bank on his lifelong passion – writing. Sunday 29 August 2010 at 10:45AM – 11:45AM at Sydney Jewish Writers Festival, Shalom College, UNSW, Barker Street, Kensington. $20.
