About this episode
The episode discusses various topics in Australian literary culture, including a controversial writer and the revival of the Meanjin journal.
We talk about the essay in the Independent about the mythical David Foster Wallace "lit bro", a famous Western Australian young adult writer getting charged with young non-adult material, Meanjin journal getting a new lease on life after being shut down, Australian literary culture's frequent "Main Charactering" of a pretty mediocre Palestinian-Australian author, and much more!
