Text Appeal: Literary Dating

Love is in the air at the State Library of Victoria this summer.

Text Appeal is a new take on the traditional dating formula. Each person brings a book they love, loathe or have recently read to act as a conversation starter. Jane Austen may find Patrick O’Brien, Salman Rushdie could be captivated by Zadie Smith, and JK Rowling - can take her pick. The books people bring may reveal who they are, who they aren't and perhaps who they are looking for, all in a three-minute conversation.

Text Appeal will run from December 2006 to February 2007, with the final event being held on Valentine’s Day.

Time 6 December 2006, 17 & 31 January, and 14 February 2007; 7-9.30pm
