Up Late: Dispatches from The Paris End

A few years ago, Cameron Hurst, Sally Olds and Oscar Schwartz sat down for a beer at a Melbourne pub and, in a fit of civic affection (or madness), decided to start a newsletter. They named it The Paris End and Helen Garner has described it as ‘scarily hip’.

Their mission: to view the eccentricities of life through darkly tinted Melbourne lenses, offering judgement, opinion and analysis on the highs and lows of culture and the business of living. Somewhat sardonic, always sharp-eyed and often accompanied by illustrations from Aaron Billings, their columns have come to define what is worth talking about in Melbourne and the world at large – and how it should be talked about.

At this special edition of Up Late, Melbourne’s definitive tastemakers invite you to join them for an evening of literary revelry and light-hearted scrutiny.

Recommended for audiences 18 and older.
