Sydney Writers Festival streaming - Stan Grant: Truth Beyond Time
Tuesday 18 August 2026 at 3:30PM
Kootingal Library
Event Description
These days, it seems like everyone has something to say, but are we actually hearing each other?
In When Words Fail Us: Truth beyond time, the follow-up to his profound Murriyang: Song of Time, Wiradjuri and Kamilaroi journalist and writer Stan Grant explores the fragility of language in loud and angry times. Drawing on a wide range of thinkers from Plato to Simone Weil to Radiohead, Stan considers truth, communication and understanding.
Hear Stan’s reflections in this special event, part address, part meditation.
Temporary access to this recording is with thanks to the Sydney Writers Festival and the State Library of NSW.
