Adelaide Writers Week in disarray as almost 100 writers boycott over Board’s ‘censorship’ of Randa Abdel-Fattah

Helen Garner, Melissa Lucashenko and Zadie Smith are among the more than 40 writers to have withdrawn from Adelaide Writers Week in the last 24 hours.

Some 90 participants, including key national and international guests such as Helen Garner, Toni Jordan, Trent Dalton, Melissa Lucashenko and Zadie Smith, have withdrawn in protest from Adelaide Writers Week, a core program of the 2026 Adelaide Festival, after the Festival Board’s decision yesterday [8 January] to remove award-winning Palestinian-Australian author and academic Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah from the Writers Week program.

And this month we, (me & #ElderlyRelative, #Blind & with #Dementia) are prepping for a #BookClub meeting on #BoySwallowsUniverse.

The #Audiobook performer is pretty much perfect. #StigWemyss is not raising even yellow flags based on what I know of teenagers in #Brisbane's junkie-criminal culture. (Not firmly based, past hearing two fellow Brisbane train passengers discussing how best to drink metho, & media coverage of violence.)

Lola in the Mirror is an extraordinary book ❤️ loved every page. I felt like I was watching the story unfold, fully immersed in every scene around my beloved West End and South Bank. I am just sad I finished it, I will miss the artist, her sketches and all her life companions ❤️🚲 Trent Dalton is truly a magic man!
