Don Watson - Death Sentence: The Decay of Public Language
Friends
Rosie Tovey and Gerry Tickell, proprietors of Chronicles Bookshop in
Fitzroy Street St Kilda have asked me to introduce Don Watson at the
launch of his current book "Death Sentence: The Decay of Public
Language" on the 8th December at the West St Kilda RSL, 23 Loch Street,
West St Kilda at 6.30 pm.
As you know Don Watson's last book was Recollections of a Bleeding
Heart: A Portrait of Paul Keating PM and we are very fortunate to have
Don Watson return to launch Death Sentence: The Decay of Public
Language.
Don Watson is a charming, witty raconteur, and a social and political
critic. His new book is about how our language is under threat and is
being butchered by politicians (not me I hope), corporations and the
media. I've read it, and I can highly recommend it.
I will be introducing Don Watson at the West St Kilda RSL, 23 Loch
Street, St Kilda at 6.30 pm on Monday 8th December 2003 and I look
forward to seeing you there.
Please forward this message to others on your mailing list who won't
want to miss this terrific launch of a brilliant book!
Call Rosie and Gerry on 9534 1994 to let them know you'll be coming
along.
