Sashi Perera: Standstill (Book Launch)

Saturday 16 August, 6pm

Join comedian, writer and recovering lawyer Sashi Perera to celebrate the launch of her debut novel. It'll include a Q&A with her husband who commends the memoir as 'a bin fire you cannot look away from'.

About the book:
After cancelling a destination wedding in Sri Lanka at the eleventh hour, most people would take a moment to regroup. Not Sashi - insisting she’s unfazed, she plunges into working with international refugee organisations around the world. Those sleepless nights are for reflecting on chaotic romances, work stress and transient lifestyles, right?

From online comedy sensation Sashi Perera, Standstill is a memoir of reluctant self-discovery by a person forced towards a mirror kicking and screaming, finally looking in and saying, Oh shit. It’s for anyone who’s lost their identity, relationship or place in the world and hesitated every step along the journey to get them back.
