Beschreibung
Stories, essays and speeches from one of Australia's foremost writers and thinkers
Updated edition of the bestselling collection of David Marr's work.
David Marr is the rarest of breeds: one of Australia's most unflinching, forensic reporters of political controversy, and one of its most subtle and eloquent biographers. In Marr's hands, reportage and commentary are elevated to artful and illuminating chronicles of our time.
My Country collects his powerful writing on religion, sex, censorship and the law; striking accounts of leaders, moralists and scandalmongers; and elegant ruminations on the arts and the lives of artists. This updated edition includes reflections on his award-winning history Killing for Country and his explosive investigation of George Pell.
'This is a book of power and poetry, an essential documenting of this place and of the people, the ideas, the political and cultural transactions in it … Marr is an exceptional writer.' —Jonathan Green
'Marr articulates our questions, frustrations and suspicions, capturing the nation's apprehensiveness towards the politicians we vote in and employ to serve us.'—Artshub
'David Marr is as brilliant a biographer and journalist as this country has produced.' —Peter Craven
