Brisbane author John Birmingham is letting the world know about his new book, “After America”, the sequel to “Without Warning”. On Thursday July 1, you can hear him talk about the new book at Avid Reader in West End. He’ll be talking with fellow Brisbane author Matt Condon.
Without Warning and After America are about an energy wave that destroys most of the USA just before the invasion of Iraq in 2003. The books explore what would happen to the world if the most powerful country became almost nothing, overnight. John Birmingham is also known for writing the books He Died with a Felafel In His Hand and The Tasmanian Babes Fiasco, which have both become successful plays. You can follow John Birmingham on Twitter. He thinks that if you read this review in The Australian’s literary section you’ll probably want to buy his book.
