Insights Into Memoir And Biography

Presented in association with The Literature Centre

Sisonke Msimang explores memoir and biography.

In the lead up to our Literature & Ideas Weekend we’re bringing a series of thought-provoking, captivating and thoroughly entertaining discussions to Fremantle.  

Join Perth Festival Literature & Ideas curator, Sisonke Msimang, as she discusses two diametrically opposed genres – memoir & biography. The first features in her critically acclaimed Always Another Country: A Memoir of Exile and Home.  The second is found in her fierce defence and contextualisation of one of South Africa’s most controversial figures in The Resurrection of Winnie Mandela.
