Novelist Andrea Goldsmith will explore the creative imagination in music, literature and landscape in a lecture at Flinders University Victoria Square on Friday, 9 October.

In a reprise of the Ray Mathew Lecture, first presented at the National Library in Canberra in May, she will consider its future in our digital age where the self has become the paramount creative project.

As a novelist, Andrea Goldsmith has explored identity, friendship and untimely death, and in her seventh and most recent novel, The Memory Trap, she examines the connection between memory and forgiveness. Her literary essays have appeared widely, including in the Best Australian Essays anthologies, and she has taught creative writing throughout Australia. Andrea regularly observes a digital-free Saturday as an opportunity to imagine, wonder and create.

Supported by the Ray Mathew and Eva Kollsman Trust  Bookings are essential. Light refreshments will be served.
