A Western Sydney Book Club – March 2026

March 27, 2026 6:30 pm — Tickets FREE
Arts & Cultural Exchange, 8 Victoria Rd Parramatta

Come along to the March edition of A Western Sydney Book Club, presenting Cannon by Lee Lai. The session will be led by facilitator Fiona Kelly McGregor.

About the Book

Cannon, by acclaimed Australian cartoonist Lee Lai, is a mordantly funny and emotionally turbulent slice of friendship strife. Lai’s sharp sense of humour and sensitive eye produce a story that explores the intimacy of queer friendship and the weight of family responsibility, and breaks open the question of what we owe both to each other and to ourselves.
