The "Australian Dark Fiction" weblog has listed all the sessions with a possible interest for Australian Horror Writers Association. There are a lot of them.
The "Jabberwocky" weblog reports on Bernard Schlink's opening address from last Friday. As did Kathryn Daley, who also went along to see Raimond Gaita, Alice Pung, Steven Carroll and Antoni Jach, and David Kilcullen with Julian Burnside. "The Nuke Strategy Wonk" weblog was there as well for the Kilcullen/Burnside session.
"Rough Review" weblog was interested in YA writers Kate de Goldi and Archie Fusillo.
Rather than sitting in the audience, Anthony Eaton sat on a panel with Margo Lanagan and seems to have had a good time.
Angela Slater made a flying visit to the festival for the weekend, saw lots of good stuff and caught up with some old friends.
The "Readings" weblog reports on a number of ex-RMIT writing students who are appearing at MWF, and also lists the bestselling books at the festival.
"The Age" newspaper's Jason Steger reported on panels looking at "the question of the relationship between fiction and history and the dynamics therein." And Francis Atkinson from the same paper went along to hear Scott Westerfeld and China Mieville discuss their work, YA and science fiction.
