AWW23: Nothing Bad Ever Happens Here - Heather Rose

Chair: Lenore Taylor


Award-winning novelist Heather Rose’s memoir, Nothing Bad
Ever Happens Here, has a title that certainly piques the reader’s
interest, but the words between the covers reveal a deeply
personal, confronting story quite different to what you might
expect. The book contains meditations on grief, healing, love and
creativity that follow the course of the author’s life. In
conversation with Lenore Taylor, Editor of The Guardian
Australia, Rose traces the threads that bind her childhood griefs
to her adult writing life.
