Tickets are now available to see Julian Evans speak at the Lismore Festival of Travel Writing 2025, dedicated to the art of Travel Writing, Good Music, and Fine Entertainment.

Julian will be discussing his book 'Undefeatable: Odesa in Love and War', "a profoundly personal memoir of Odesa. It is a dramatic, intimate story of one of the world’s most human, irrepressible cities and a tour de force of the personal and political, offering compelling fresh insights into the history of Russia’s war against Ukraine and its cultural and emotional impacts." Julian will also be discussing his 30 years as a journalist reporting on Ukraine.
