<p>The Book of Days is an illustrated anthology from the 2015 Sydney Writers&rsquo; Festival. The book was designed live during the festival at a workstation next to the Pier 2/3 Main Stage at Walsh Bay. The anthology is divided into two parts. The first is a selection of writing and illustrations from festival presenters. It includes excerpts of what was read or shown at festival events, previously published poems or essays, and a few tastes of as-yet unpublished work. The second part is a selection of writing and images from festival audiences in response to the 2015 theme, How to Live? These contributions were submitted via Twitter (using #swfbod) or on typewriters and&thinsp;index cards at the writing station. As a whole, the book is a memento of the festival experience, &thinsp;a record of what was presented and also how it was received. Writers and readers, together. With writing from: Robert Adamson, Dennis Altman, James Boyce, Robert Dessaix, Mohsin Hamid, Rebecca Huntley, Lee Kofman, Helen Macdonald, Emily St. John Mandel, Les Murray, Omar Musa, John Pickrell, Zo&euml; Sadokierski and Tom Uglow. Featuring illustrations by: Lucy Adelaide, W.H. Chong, Tessa Curran, Tony Flowers, Juno Gemes, Leigh Hobbs, Olivia King, Leigh Rigozzi, Zo&euml; Sadokierski, Gemma Warriner, Yan Qin Weng, William Yang.</p>
