From Nick Cave's suit to Iced Vovos with Kevin Rudd: how Authors for Fireys is funding bushfire relief

Written By Unknown on Saturday, January 11, 2020 | 3:55 AM

Cave is offering a signed copy of The Sick Bag Song and one of his suits while Benjamin Law auctioned off dinner with himself and David Marr

Nick Cave, Kevin Rudd, Cheryl Strayed, Peter Carey, Jeff VanderMeer, Benjamin Law and dozens of other authors are auctioning signed copies of their books, one-of-a-kind memorabilia and the opportunity to pick their brains as part of a Twitter-based auction to raise money for bushfire relief.

I'm beside myself to announce that we have a last-minute auction from writer/muso NICK CAVE for #AuthorsForFireys. Yes that's right! He's donated a signed copy of The Sick Bag Song (a great insight into the way he works) + one of his suits! *swoon* Get onto it! cc @mrbenjaminlaw pic.twitter.com/88zzBvYi6l
