Southern Highlands Writers’ Festival 2025

Journalist Adam Courtenay’s new memoir My Father Bryce examines the life of one of Australia’s highest-selling authors, Bryce Courtenay. From his first book, The Power of One, Bryce captivated readers. With his third, April Fool’s Day, he captured their hearts. 

Several years after his death, Bryce still looms large in Adam’s life. In seeking to understand his father, who made so many people happy with his books, Adam recounts his own 1960s and 1970s childhood, Bryce’s career in advertising and his metamorphosis into a bestselling novelist. 

Adam Courtenay is a Sydney-based writer and financial journalist, writing for the Financial Times, the Sunday Times, the SMH/Age, Forbes and Company Director. Adam has written six books, including The Ship That Never Was, The Ghost and the Bounty Hunter and Three Sheets to the Wind.
