Join Megan Stack in conversation with Sally Warhaft at the Bendigo Writers Festival this August. They will be discussing ethics, unexpected emotional shifts, and negotiations of the household as a workplace, alongside Megan’s new memoir Women’s Work.
Women’s Work: a reckoning with work and home undertakes a forthright and relentless examination of domestic labour, and the complexities of working parenthood – for herself and for the babysitters, cooks and cleaners which made her continuing career possible. The New York Times said: ‘Memoirs about motherhood are exceedingly common, but Women’s Work dares to explore the labor arrangements that often make such books possible ... Stack writes sharp, pointed sentences that flash with dark insight ... ruthlessly self-aware [and] fearless.’
Megan K. Stack is the author of Every Man in This Village Is a Liar, which was a finalist for America’s 2010 National Book Award and an Australian bestseller. She reported on war for the Los Angeles Times from dozens of countries, and was most recently Moscow bureau chief. She was a finalist for the 2007 Pulitzer Prize in international reporting.
