This year’s Sydney Writers’ Festival is all about bibliotherapy – finding therapeutic solace between the pages of a good read. The weeklong event brings 60 international guests and more than 400 Australian writers to Sydney for talks, performances, shows and heated discussions. Take a look at our highlights of this year’s program, plus an interview with spoken-word performer and author Kate Tempest.
