Australian Literature Society [Meeting Report] 1937 single work column
— Appears in: All About Books , 13 September vol. 9 no. 9 1937; (p. 146-147) Report of the reception on 5 August for Helen Simpson "being on a visit to her native land under contract with the Australian Broadcasting Commission". Also includes report of the meeting of 16 August where J.K. Moir delivered a paper on Lamond and Mrs. Williams wondered whether entries for the Short Story Prize really need "reflect some phase of Australian life and character". Cottman again brought forward his proposal to curtail the length of meetings. "Pleasing announcements" included the London Book Society choosing Mann's work as book of the month and The Valley of the Sky becoming the first Australian novel to be translated into Italian.
