Byron Writers Festival: On Grief with Gideon Haigh

When someone dies, your whole world stops – but what do you do when it keeps turning for everyone else? Join festival guests Imogen Carn (Good Mourning), Gideon Haigh (My Brother Jaz) and Molly Schmidt (Salt River Road) for this moving exploration of death, loss, and how we keep moving. With Nova Weetman.

About the book:

A profoundly moving memoir on grief and resilience

In January 2024, in a period of personal crisis, Gideon Haigh abruptly started writing the story of the night his seventeen-year-old brother Jasper was killed, finally facing how it had shaped the rest of his life. Seventy-two hours later he stopped. Dark, raw and revealing, My Brother Jaz is how it feels to lose someone, and yourself, even as the rest of the world turns, and you struggle to keep up.
