Returning: The Book Club

The Book Club is moving to a new timeslot on Sundays from March.

2015-02-13_1404The Book Club returns next month in a new timeslot: 6pm Sundays on the first Sunday of each month.

It will be introducing new elements to the show.

An ABC release indicates, “We want to hear from our loyal audience so we’ll be hitting the streets, libraries, book events and writers’ festivals to find out what our viewers are reading. We’ll also be bringing you the latest from the world of literature and will include a viewers’ video question or comment from The Book Club website (via a new video upload feature) to get the panel’s conversation started on the Classic of the Month segment.”

The first episode, recorded at the Perth Writers’ Festival sees Jennifer Byrne, Marieke Hardy and Jason Steger joined be international Festival guests Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love; The Signature of All Things) and John Lanchester (How to Speak About Money;Capital; The Debt to Pleasure).

On the reading list is Australian writer James Bradley’s new quietly hopeful dystopian novel, Clade and Elizabeth Gilbert brings along her classic pick, British novelist Barbara Trapido’s delightful 1982 coming-of-age debut, Brother of the More Famous Jack.

Sunday, 1 March at 6pm on ABC.
