With Jo Case | Author Catharine Lumby knew Frank Moorhouse for many years. A decade before his death in 2022, Moorhouse asked her to be his biographer. In conversation with Jo Case, Lumby shares how this relationship influenced her approach. Event details: Thu 07 Mar, 3:45pm

Catharine Lumby is the first out of the gate of two biographers to tackle the many-faceted life of author Frank Moorhouse, who was a well known bon vivant, bushwalker and prolific author of fiction and non fiction. He was also an active campaigner on issues including censorship and copyright law.   Lumby's biography, Frank Moorhouse: A Life, is organised thematically and relies on her longstanding friendship with Moorhouse for its very personal approach as she navigates his archive selectively. In doing so she reflects on the moral dilemmas that face a biographer who is close not only to their subject but respectful of the people in his orbit who may wish to remain anonymous.   The result is an intimate introduction to an intriguing figure in Australian culture, who knew how to make a mean martini.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
