Presented by: Brisbane Writers Festival

Simon Winchester OBE is a master of narrative non-fiction. Over the course of his remarkable career, he’s published more than 30 bestsellers on everything from natural disasters and religious conflicts to mesmerising stories of maverick inventors and eccentric scientists. His latest book is a wonderfully entertaining history of a powerful force that we can feel but not see: wind.

For centuries, humans have vested this element with all manner of spiritual, philosophical, poetic, environmental and scientific meanings – but where, in our warming world, will it take us next?

Join Winchester in conversation with the delightful Ashley Hay for an evening that promises to change the way you think about the weather.
