Helen Simondson from Boola Bardip WA Museum gets us going this week with her regular Perth round up and, of course, a local guest artist… this time it’s flash fiction specialist, Gillian O’Shaughnessy who’s part of Freemantle’s Totally Lit Festival…

Then, we stick with literature for most of the rest of the show, catching up with Alison Booth whose eighth novel is Death at Booroomba, her first venture into historical crime fiction… and then much loved multi-award winning author Kate Grenville whose new book Unsettled takes her on a road journey into her own past and the often denied past of our own country post colonisation.

And finally, we’ll wrap up the show with a couple of the filmmakers - Sally Newman and Violeta Abarzua - whose short films are finalists in this year’s Focus On Ability festival again celebrating ability in all forms through the works of a diverse group of international filmmakers.

They’re all on this week’s edition of Behind the Scenes with Chris Thompson right here on Vision Australia Radio.
