Nicholas Godfrey Tuesday 14 August, 7pm–8pm
Book Talk Tuesday: Nicholas Godfrey 'The Limits of Auteurism' The New Hollywood era of the late 1960s and early 1970s has become one of the most romanticized periods in motion picture history, celebrated for its stylistic boldness, thematic complexity, and the unshackling of directorial ambition. The Limits of Auteurism aims to challenge many of these assumptions. Nicholas Godfrey surveys a key moment that defined the subsequent aesthetic parameters of American commercial art cinema. The book explores the role that contemporary critics played in determining how the movies of this period were understood and how, in turn, strategies of distribution influenced critical responses and dictated the conditions of entry into the rapidly codifying New Hollywood canon.

Michael McGuire Tuesday 16 October, 10.30am–11.30am
Book Talk Tuesday: Michael McGuire 'Never a True Word' Politics - it's a place for shiny people with ugly souls. As a journalist, Jack thought he'd met every shade of nutter, narcissist and bully to be found. But then he took a job in politics and discovered he'd only scratched the surface. Jack's job is to maintain the pretence that all is normal, that our political masters have everyone's best interests at heart, that politics is not just a collection of attention-seeking egomaniacs looking for somewhere to park their character defects. Elections, budgets and blackmail - it's all part of the bizarre world Jack now finds himself in. Award-winning journalist Michael McGuire has worked for more than twenty years at the Australian in Sydney, and the Adelaide Advertiser where he is now senior writer. He has also dabbled in state and federal politics. Never a True Word is his first novel. Tuesday 16 October, 10.30am–11.30am Cove Civic Centre 1 Ragamuffin Drive, HALLETT COVE 5158
