David Marr's new book, out now.
David Marr is touring the east coast of Aus to discuss the Bill Henson controversy and his new book The Henson Case. He’ll be in Brisbane on Wednesday the 8th of October, in Melbourne Thursday the 9th of October, and Sydney Monday the 13th. Full details below.
Marr’s new book ‘examines the pornography/art debate with exclusive interviews with Bill Henson, members of the NSW police force, child abuse campaigners and important figures in the Australian arts scene.’
