Lisa will be reading an excerpt from her book and discussing the path to becoming an author.</p><p><strong>About the book:</strong></p><p>Most people who use recreational drugs haven't had their lives destroyed, aren't living on the streets, and enjoy normal and unscathed relationships with families, friends and the world. So why is it that discussion about drugs and drug policy only reflects tragedy that ends with death, jail or addiction? Why is it that the only politically acceptable position on the use of drugs is one of prohibition?</p><p>With nearly a quarter of people in their twenties now trying ecstasy, and half dabbling with marijuana, in many families recreational drug use remains one of the last intergenerational silences left between baby boomers and their adult children. Lisa Pryor captures the zeitgeist in this considered yet punchy exploration of the real world of drug use today. It is the skewed nature of the debate, she argues, that has worsened rather than fixed many of the very real problems drug use can cause.</p><p>This is an intelligent and personal look at the complex issue of recreational drug use. It will change the terms of the debate forever.</p><p><strong>About the author:</strong></p><p>Since graduating with a degree in law, Lisa Pryor has firmly established herself as an incisive and entertaining social commentator through her popular opinion column for the Sydney Morning Herald and her previous book, the cult hit The Pin Striped Prison. She is now studying medicine, inspired by a night in a hospital emergency ward researching this book. A small book about drugs has been longlisted for the 2012 John Button Prize.</p><p><em>A Small Book About Drugs</em> will be available for sale at the talk and Lisa will be signing copies of her book.</p><p>So bring your lunch and join us for what promises to be an interesting talk.</p><p><strong>DATE</strong>: Wednesday, 29 August<br /><strong>TIME</strong>: 12pm - 1pm<br /><strong>VENUE</strong>: Learning Commons, Level 3, City Campus Library</p><p>This is a free event.<br />All are welcome.<br />No RSVP or booking is required.</p><p>Bookings are required for <a href="http://utsauthortalks-lisapryor.eventbrite.com.au/">non-UTS attendees</a></p><h3>Upcoming Author Talks</h3><p>Wednesday, 19 September<br /><strong>Nicole Watson</strong> – <em>The Boundary</em></p><p>Wednesday, 26 September<br /><strong>Peter Robb</strong></p><p>All talks are being held from 12pm - 1pm in the Learning Commons on Level 3 of the City Campus Library.<span> </span></p><p> </p></div> </div> <div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden clearfix"> <ul class="field-items"> <li class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"> <a href="/tag/national-year-reading" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">National Year of Reading</a> </li> <li class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"> <a href="/tag/author-talks" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">author talks</a> </li> </ul> </div> Thu, 23 Aug 2012 23:18:35 +0000 Georgia 21925 at http://www.lib.uts.edu.au NYoR: FREE Author Talk by Kirsten Tranter - Monday 28 May at 12pm http://www.lib.uts.edu.au/news/18699/nyor-free-author-talk-kirsten-tranter-monday-28-may-12pm <div class="vud-widget vud-widget-utslibvote vud-widget-utslibvote-new" id="widget-node-18699"> <a href="/vote/node/18699/1/vote/utslibvote/mtd8ynsK7Ah1XTgu2d3rZgZO1l6flR9JmfUITGi8YRg/nojs" rel="nofollow" class="vud-link-up use-ajax"> <span class="up-inactive utslibvote-up" title="I like this post">Vote up!</span> </a> <div class="utslibvote-score"> <span class="utslibvote-current-score" title="16">16</span> </div> </div><div class="field field-name-field-article-categories field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden clearfix"> <ul class="field-items"> <li class="field-item even"> <a href="/news/announcement" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Announcement</a> </li> </ul> </div><div class="field field-name-field-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-item even" rel="og:image rdfs:seeAlso" resource="http://www.lib.uts.edu.au/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/images/news/A%20Common%20Loss%20cover.jpg?itok=RwSSPOQs"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="http://www.lib.uts.edu.au/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/images/news/A%20Common%20Loss%20cover.jpg?itok=RwSSPOQs" width="220" height="336" alt="A Common Loss - Kirsten Tranter" /></div> </div> <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><h3>National Year of Reading</h3><p>UTS Library will be hosting a series of FREE author talks throughout the month of May as part of the continuing National Year of Reading celebrations.</p><p>The final talk in this series is being presented by<strong> Kirsten Tranter</strong> author of <em>A Common Loss</em>, published in 2012. <strong>Kirsten</strong> will be reading an excerpt out of her book and talking about the road to becoming an author and producing captivating and enthralling literature.</p><p><em>A Common Loss</em> is the highly anticipated second novel from Australian writer, <strong>Kirsten Tranter</strong>, whose bestselling debut novel, <em>The Legacy</em>, was published to international critical acclaim.
