WHS says you shouldn't dance on counters but when it's literary legend Jeanette Winterson the rules don't apply. We're proud to be Sydney Writers Festival's official bookseller. Hope we'll see you there! Check out the fantastic program and keep dancing... and reading! www.swf.org.au 💃📚
Writer Jeanette Winterson dancing on the Gleebooks counter at Sydney Writers Festival in Carriageworks, Sydney. There are two customers at the counter being served by two staff behind three computers. Winterson is ecstatic at a big banner behind the counter of one of her quotes, reading "And one of the things that story teaches us is this: read yourself as fiction as well as fact." She is wearing black jeans, black coat, white check shirt and brown boots, with a big smile and her hands in the air.

Congrats to all the winners of the 2025 NSW Literary Awards, which were awarded last night at the State Library of NSW – including Nam Le, who won Book of the Year for his 1st book The Boat in 2009, and again for his latest book How to Write a Vietnamese Poem.

It looks like 2PP politics as usual might be over with predictions of a hung parliament or minority government next month. In this timely #Gleetalks episode George Megalogenis discusses the implications with David Marr. #auspol
