Georgia Blain wins a posthumous Premier's award as playwright Leah Purcell takes the big one

It was a night of mixed emotions as Georgia Blain won a posthumous Victorian Premier's Literary Award and playwright Leah Purcell took out the $100,000 Victorian Prize for Literature.

Delighted for The Book That Made Me contributor Randa Abdel-Fattah, who has won the 2017 Victorian Premier's Literary Award prize for young adult fiction, and the People's Choice prize for When Michael Met Mina.

"Ridge’s The Book That Made Me serves best as a teacher resource and guide for recommending reading for students, or for aspiring writers. As teachers, we may recognise versions of these young writers in our classrooms – young people who are desperate to find some sort of affirmation, validation or mirror to their own experiences. Books can serve as a significant contributor to identity and self-conceptualisation, and today, more than ever, young people need to read about ‘themselves’. Thus, they must feel encouraged to write about themselves, too. Inspired by The Books That Made Me, young people need not discount their own stories, like Abdel-Fattah once did, and can instead write tales of inclusion with confidence and pride."

I feel guilty. I never tried to bring Leila and her mom together. I never gave myself the chance to see things in her perspective and to understand her fears. It was easier to dismiss her as an ignorant villager. [...] It's not that I was arrogant. It's the fact that I felt that somehow, because I'm being educated and brought up in an open-minded environment, I had the right to be arrogant and superior.

Randa Abdel-Fattah, Does My Head Look Big In This?

Ada satu masa kita rasa kita mahu berubah. Dan ada masanya kita rasa kita mahu lari. Namun sejauh mana pun tetap tak mampu lari daripada takdir Tuhan. Dan mungkin perlu lihat perspektif orang lain sebelum buat sesuatu keputusan. # "Dunia bukan milik kita seorang. # Bukankah setiap dugaan dan kekurangan, Allah akan gandakan nikmat hidup. Tapi kalau berduka tanpa mahu ingat Allah, rugikan?" - #RahsiaAndrea Dan apabila telah buat keputusan, perlu tekad kerana dugaan untuk bertahan tak semudah kita bayangkan. # "Everybody's scared of what they don't know. # Sometimes it's easy to lose faith in people. And sometimes one act of kindness is all takes to give you hope again." - #DoesMyHeadLookBigInThis You've got to learn to love yourself. Buatlah apa pun biar kerana Tuhan. #books #bookstagram #bookworm #bibliophile #randaabdelfattah #instagood #polkadots #MembacaItuCinta
