The Montegiallo School of Swearing | Andrew HC McDonald in Conversation with Meg Bignell
Fullers Bookshop, 131 Collins Street, Hobart, TAS 7000
An accidental purchase of a villa and a chaotic Eat, Pray, Love adventure in Italy changes one man’s life.
Accidentally buying a Sicilian villa for just one euro is not the great Eat, Pray, Love game changer that Brian Chapman hopes it would be. Instead, tumbledown buildings, a shortage of plumbers, and resentful locals make Brian’s drunken whim look like the biggest mistake of his chequered career so far. Who could believe that an outbreak of swearing would lead not only to cultural reconciliation but to this very Australian fish out of water finding true love in Italy?
Andrew HC McDonald was born in the small town of Shackleton in the Wheatbelt of Western Australia, moving to the foothills of Perth at an early age. He has been a photographer, comedian, storyteller and a visual artist. He currently works at Curtin University.
Meg Bignell is the author of four novels and one non-fiction book. Her third novel, The Angry Women’s Choir, won the People’s Choice Award for fiction at the 2025 Tasmanian Literary Awards. She has written and performed in short films, cabaret shows and a musical.
Join Andrew and Meg at the Afterword Cafe.
