Join us at The Long Table with social researcher, author and commentator Hugh Mackay for the release of his latest work of fiction, Selling the Dream.  Over a beautiful two-course winter Muse lunch we'll delve into the complex, ruthless, multi-million dollar world of advertising.

'If someone asked me who should write a satirical novel about the advertising business – someone with inside knowledge who could write well and was extremely clever and amusing – I'd say "See if Hugh Mackay is available".' John Clarke

Lincoln The Hunter is universally admired and terrifically charming. But when he's given responsibility for a new high-budget, high-profile campaign, just how far will he go to get what he wants? Selling the Dream is a laugh-out-loud, frighteningly believable satire which will leave you wondering just where the line between parody and reality falls.
