\n

Join us for the Sydney launch of The Vape Lord of Queanbeyan, Miles Franklin longlisted and multi-award winning author, poet and artist Omar Musa’s electrifying new collection of surreal, tender and darkly funny stories.

\n

From Bosnia to Borneo, Musa’s characters grapple with grief, addiction, friendship, faith and love in stories that blur the line between the mystical and the everyday. Fierce, inventive and deeply human, this is fiction from one of Australia’s most exciting literary voices.

\n

Omar will be in conversation with Bilal Hafda, with performances by Turquoise Prince, Hau Latukefu and Jazz Money.

\n

Omar's books will be sold on site by: Better Read Than Dead Bookstore
