Vanstone - Claudia Roden is significant is because she was one of the first writers to combine food and history in her work. Her books go beyond just “here are some recipes”. #FoodForThoughtOrThoughtForFood #AdlWW #AdlFest

- Claudia Roden was also significant in bringing Middle East cooking and spices to Britain and the West. Now look at using spices quite differently. #FoodForThoughtOrThoughtForFood #AdlWW #AdlFest

The woman is over 80 years old. She’s been asked about this orange cake for over 50 years! Surely she’s sick of the orange cake questions exclaims - with chatting about Claudia Roden (Can we have the orange cake at #AdlWW next year?! 😬)

Bacharevič - The current situation is such in Belarus that free thinking just can’t occur. In free countries any educated person can think freely and express their opinions. Now in Belarus you are forbidden from writing essays. #AWriterInExile #AdlWW #AdlFest

Dean Ashenden - Truth telling at this stage has been left to Indigenous voices to do the heavy lifting often to a white audience that can be indifferent. For true truth telling to occur both black and white need to jointly participate. #TheGreatAustralianSilence #AdlWW #AdlFest

Bacharevič - Back in 2016 I was told to write the story that I wanted to write and in a way I wanted to write and the result was Dogs of War. #AWriterInExile #AdlWW #AdlFest

Loved hearing talk about his children’s book that’s also a children’s book for big kids (adults) called ‘Runt’, that speaks to the power of pets- their presence and loyalty. Can’t wait to read it and then share it with all my niblings #AldWW

Bernard Keene - there’s a much more fragmented media space now compared to the 1970s/1980s and people feel they don’t have any agency. #WeGaspForAirAmongPeopleWhoBelieveThetAreAbsolutelyRight #AdlWW #AdlFest

Such a fantastic session with on the writing, poetry and loves of Shirley Hazzard today. It felt like a privilege to hear Brigitta’s deep understanding of Hazzard’s writing and life. An emotional, beautiful, life-affirming session about why literature matters. Bravo.

Rose Hill - Arendt became a writer by chance to make sense of what happened to her living in and escaping from the Nazi regime. You can’t read her works without considering the events that shaped her. #ThinkingInDarkTimes #AdlWW #AdlFest

Singer - I like to take arguments at face value. You can look at arguments and see whether they’re good or bad no matter where they come from. #ThinkingInDarkTimes #AdlWW #AdlFest
Rose Hill - For Arendt all thinking was about experience. She had quite a cinematic life. #ThinkingInDarkTimes #AdlWW #AdlFest

So wonderful to be back which has always been one of my favourite festivals. Free events in a beautiful outdoor setting let us all take chances on new & unknown writers. This is an event not to be missed for any curious minds.

One of the things I love about Writers Week is discovering new writers and people I've not been aware of before, Heather Rose this morning being one such discovery. #adlww

Rose - I am so grateful about being a writer and have such a wonderful following in Australia but it is a precarious existence. What I’m certain about is the passion I have for writing. #NothingBadEverHappensHere #AdlWW #AdlFest

Rose - I have the sense whatever is beyond death is not to be frightened about. It has given me courage and to be able to start asking questions. #NothingBadEverHapoensHere #AdlWW #AdlFest

Heather Rose - while writing her memoir found it very hard to be so honest. Discovered parts of myself I never knew. Never knew how brave I had been. #NothingBadEverHappensHere #AdlWW #AdlFest

accessed oral histories of former inmates of Colditz in the Imperial War Museum which were recorded in the 80s. These are the real stories of Colditz about race, class and sexuality which before was not included in the myth of Colditz #AdlWW
