Author Talk: Daniel Nour in conversation with Winnie Dunn

A laugh-out-loud story of culture, family and surviving suburbia, from one of the most exciting new comic voices in Australia.

We are thrilled to have Daniel Nour and Winnie Dunn in conversation talking all about Nour's debut memoir How to Dodge Flying Sandals and Other Advice for Life.
Loud, painfully awkward, conservative and very confused (especially about other boys), Daniel has never quite pulled off normal, but 'not-normal' is where the best stories are – right? Now he's made peace with that, he’s ready to share his wisdom in this highly unreliable ethnic memoir. Told as a series of snapshots from Daniel's life – from 'How to Be Born' to 'How to Die' and everything in between – How to Dodge Flying Sandals and Other Advice for Life is a wildly absurd, sharply insightful and, at times, disarmingly heartfelt tale of culture, family and trying, but not always managing, to come of age.
If you've ever had someone try to arrange a marriage for you…
If you have so many cousins you can't remember all their names…
If your parents only show love through food and unsolicited advice…
If your family still thinks your 'roommate' is 'just a great friend'…
Then this book is for you.
And if you've never experienced any of this? Well, aren't you just a little curious?
