AWW21 Hazel Rowley Address: Making Characters, Biography and Memoir - Jacqueline Kent

In this year’s lecture in memory of biographer Hazel Rowley, Jacqueline Kent, biographer of Vida Goldstein, Julia Gillard and Hephzibah Menuhin, turns the spotlight on herself and her brief but passionate relationship with Kenneth Cook, author of the novel Wake in Fright. Jacqueline discusses what happens when you become a character in your own story, and switch from describing others’ lives to tackle your own.
